Unsafe Condition

Corrosion, damage, and rupture have been found on down lock spring assemblies of the main landing gear (MLG) and nose landing gear (NLG), which, under specific load conditions on the ground, may compromise the locking and holding of the MLG and NLG in their correct kinematics positions. Failure of these down lock springs could cause a non-annunciated loss of down locking capability, which may collapse the MLG and the NLG structure during takeoff or landing.

Required Actions
