What to do
Operators of Boeing 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes must install the required lanyard assemblies following Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2. Compliance must be achieved by May 26, 2022, the effective date of the directive. Exceptions apply for airplanes modified with VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering STCs ST03952AT and ST04242AT, which are exempt from the lanyard installation requirement.
Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive 2022-07-07 addresses certain Boeing 757-200, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes. This directive mandates the installation of lanyard assemblies on passenger service units (PSUs), life vest panels, and video panels to prevent these components from detaching during survivable accidents. The directive aims to enhance cabin safety by reducing the risk of injury and facilitating evacuation.
What changed
This new airworthiness directive requires operators of affected Boeing 757 models to install lanyard assemblies on PSUs and, for certain airplanes, on life vest and video panels. It expands applicability to additional airplanes identified after supplemental notices and clarifies exceptions for specific supplemental type certificates. The directive incorporates Boeing Special Attention Requirements Bulletin 757-25-0315 RB, Revision 2, dated March 17, 2021, as the service instruction for compliance.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it addresses a safety risk where PSUs and life vest panels could detach and fall into the cabin during accidents, potentially causing passenger injuries and obstructing evacuation routes. Compliance ensures enhanced passenger safety and regulatory adherence, reducing liability and operational disruptions. Maintenance and compliance teams must integrate these modifications into scheduled maintenance to meet FAA safety standards.
