Mandatory pitot-static inspections for 767-300

If you operate certain Boeing 767-300 airplanes that were converted from passenger to freighter under a specific supplemental type certificate (STC), the FAA now requires a visual inspection of the first officer's pitot-static rigid tubes and flexible hoses to check for low points. If low points are found, you must perform investigative and corrective actions required by the airworthiness directive.
