Required Actions
For previously modified airplanes, conduct repetitive inspections for movement of the fittings or fastener heads, and eventually replace certain bolts (including related investigative and corrective actions if necessary). For all airplanes, replace the bolts with corrected torque values to terminate the requirements of the existing AD. Inspect for cracking of the elevator actuator fittings as required by the existing AD.
