Unsafe Condition

A standard fuel tank access door was located where an impact-resistant access door was required, and stencils were missing from some impact-resistant access doors. This could lead to foreign object penetration of the fuel tank, causing a fuel leak near an ignition source and potentially resulting in a fuel-fed fire.

Required Actions

Replace any standard access door with an impact-resistant access door if necessary.
