Unsafe Condition

Fatigue cracks at certain frame sections and stub beam cracking caused by high flight cycle stresses from both pressurization and maneuver loads, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the frames and accelerated skin crack growth, potentially leading to rapid decompression of the fuselage.

Required Actions

Conduct repetitive inspections for cracking of certain fuselage frames and stub beams, and perform corrective actions if necessary. Optional repair is available to terminate repetitive inspections. For airplanes with a certain repair, continue repetitive inspections and corrective actions as necessary.
