Required Actions

Inspect the lower wing at rear spar between wing station 54 and the inboard nacelle attach angles on both wings to determine rivet type. If AN 426AD-5 rivets are present, remove flaps and wing trailing edge skins, drill out the rivets, and replace with AN 426AD-6 rivets. Ensure rivet spacing meets requirements, adding a brazier head rivet if only five exist, and contact manufacturer if spacing issues arise.
