Unsafe Condition

Frame cracks have been found at the attachment holes for support brackets for the air conditioning outlet extrusion. Continued growth of such cracks could result in a severed frame, which, combined with existing multi-site damage at the stringer 10 lap splice, could lead to rapid decompression of the airplane.

Required Actions

Inspect frames between station 360 and station 907 to determine if the subject support bracket is installed. Perform related repetitive investigative actions and repair if necessary. Optionally, perform a preventive modification to end repetitive investigative actions. Conduct a one-time post-modification/repair inspection for cracking of each repaired/modified frame.
