Unsafe Condition

Fatigue cracking of the left and right upper radius at frame 47, which could propagate and result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Retain existing repetitive inspections to detect cracking of the upper radius of the forward fitting of frame 47, reduce inspection thresholds and repetitive intervals, and add related investigative and corrective actions. Provide an optional terminating action for airplanes with cracking within certain limits, and implement a post-repair inspection program following the optional terminating action.
