Repetitive Safety Inspections Kept
The FAA is superseding AD 2019-12-13 for all Boeing Model 757 airplanes and is keeping the repetitive checks required by that AD. You (as an aircraft owner or operator of a Boeing 757) must continue repetitive checks of the aileron trim actuator bearing for free rotation and repetitive detailed inspections of the aileron trim actuator attachment lug for damage and cracking, plus any applicable on-condition actions.
Required Modifications That End Repeats
The AD also requires, for certain Boeing 757 airplanes, changing the lateral control box support assembly and installing an aileron trim actuator bracket, and for certain other airplanes replacing the existing actuator lateral control fitting with an aileron trim actuator bracket. Those specified modifications terminate the need for the repetitive checks and inspections.
