AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Perform a general visual inspection for sealant at the interface of the upper spar fittings, strut side skins, and the fittings of the thrust reverser strut fairing on the engine struts. If the injection seal is not properly sealing the entire gap or is missing, apply an injection seal or silicone sponge rubber with fillet seal before further flight.
