AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Visually inspect aft engine mount link assemblies for separations, cracks, and spherical bearing race migration. Replace cracked or separated parts prior to further flight. If spherical bearing race migration is discovered, perform an additional borescope inspection for cracks. If no cracks are found, assemblies have a 75-cycle grace period before replacement. Installation of improved aft engine mount link assemblies terminates the inspections.
