Unsafe Condition
Two adjacent frame forks were found cracked on the aft lower deck cargo door (LDCD) of two Model A300-600F4 airplanes during scheduled maintenance. Subsequent analysis determined that cracked or ruptured aft cargo door frames could allow loads to be transferred to the remaining structural elements, which may sustain loads for a limited number of flight cycles only.
