Unsafe Condition

Cracks in the joint extrusions securing the outer bondment to the acoustic panel of the nacelle transcowl assemblies. Thrust reverser deployment under rejected take-off or emergency landing load conditions could potentially result in acoustic panel failure and possible runway debris.

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

Required Actions

Inspect the outboard edge of the transcowl joint extrusion for evidence of cracking. Perform an eddy current or liquid penetrant inspection for cracking. Remove and replace affected joint extrusion areas with packers or contact Bombardier for repair instructions. Install new support channels for transcowl assembly reinforcement.
