Unsafe Condition

Loss of the transmission attachment design could result in the potential loss of an outboard trailing edge flap, leading to discrepancies such as a flap skew or lateral control asymmetry. These issues can cause collateral damage to adjacent hydraulic tubing and subsequent loss of a hydraulic system, potentially exceeding asymmetric flight control limits and adversely affecting the airplane's continued safe flight and landing.

Required Actions

Modify the outboard flap track and transmission attachments by replacing the bolts with non-Inconel, dual load path bolts; installing new flap tracks; and installing the new transmission attachment fitting. These actions must be performed in accordance with the specified service bulletins.
