Unsafe Condition
Improper positioning of the inspection covers on the top surface of each wing at the landing gear retracting sprocket can cause malfunctioning of the gear retracting mechanism. The spring clips, if installed with clips running in a chordwise direction, may bear against the chain and force it off the sprocket, jamming the system.
