Unsafe Condition
Cracks were found on the Movable Flap Track Fairing number 6 (MFTF6) at the pivot attachment support-ring and U-frame in the attachment area to aft-kinematic. Delamination was observed within the monolithic Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) structure around the pivot support-ring. This could lead to in-flight loss of the MFTF6, potentially resulting in injuries to persons on the ground.
