FAA Corrects Mistake in Boeing 767 Pilot Seat Rules

## Summary

If you fly or work with Boeing 767 planes, this update is for you! The FAA fixed a mistake in the old safety rules about checking the pilots’ seats to keep everyone safe. You’ll still need to inspect and maintain the seats, but now the instructions are clearer—no extra work where it’s not needed.

## Abstract

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-01- 06, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, -300F, and -400ER series airplanes. AD 2025-01-06 required identifying the part number, and the serial number if applicable, of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions for affected seats. AD 2025-01-06 also required a one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of the horizontal movement system (HMS) of the Captain's and First Officer's seats and applicable on-condition actions. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-01-06, the FAA determined that AD 2025-01-06 contains an error when providing conditions for taking credit using a previous revision of the service information. This AD requires the actions of AD 2025-01-06 and revises paragraph (j) of this AD to clarify which actions are not required. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

## Effects PRIA read

- Boeing 767 pilot seat inspections stay required: cost, medium. If you operate or maintain Boeing Model 767-200, -300, -300F, or -400ER airplanes, you must continue the actions from AD 2025-01-06: identify the Captain's and First Officer's seat part numbers (and serial numbers if applicable) and perform the one-time detailed inspection and repetitive checks of…
- Clarification reduces unnecessary work: benefit, low. This AD corrects an error in AD 2025-01-06 about taking credit for a previous revision of the service information and revises paragraph (j) to clarify which actions are not required, so operators and maintainers will not have to perform actions that are explicitly not required.
