The FAA Just Put Another Inspection on the Calendar — On a Freighter Cargo Track

AD 2026-18-08 covers certain Boeing Model 767-300F airplanes after a supplier notice of escapement on titanium cargo track crown fittings with suspect material certifications. Operators now run an XRF spectrometer check or replace the fittings. The directive is necessary. FLEX AI™ does not replace this AD, and it does not certify a supplier’s titanium.
