Unsafe Condition
Reports of cracks on the main landing gear (MLG) side stay, caused by excessive friction on the MLG side stay support fitting due to bushing migration, which may compromise the MLG free fall extension and cause fatigue cracking on the MLG side stay and its support assembly, resulting in reduced structural integrity.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Repetitive measurements of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) MLG side stay support fitting to detect bushing migration, and eventual replacement of the bushing. Detailed inspection for damage on the LH and RH MLG side stay support assembly, including general visual inspection and eddy current inspection for cracking on the upper and lower side stays. Investigative and corrective actions as necessary, including replacing or repairing the MLG side stay or assembly and removing corrosion.
