Unsafe Condition

Corrosion findings have been reported on the overwing refueling aperture on the wing top skin. The reported corrosion was on the mating surface of the aperture flange, underneath the refuel adaptor. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could, in combination with a lightning strike in this area, create a source of ignition in a fuel tank, possibly resulting in a fire or explosion and consequent loss of the aeroplane.

Required Actions

Inspect for the presence of a corrosion repair on an overwing refueling aperture, and do the electrical bonding test and applicable corrective actions if a repair has been installed.

Compliance Time

Before further flight
