Unsafe Condition

The splined couplings and the sliding bearings of the flap transmission system could be affected by corrosion and wear, especially when their protective components such as wiper rings and rubber gaiters could become defective. This could degrade the functional integrity of the flap transmission system.

Replace any defective components found. Repeat inspections at intervals not to exceed 2,500 flight cycles.
