Preliminary Technical Leaflet (PTL) No. 104, Issue 3 (800/810 Series), or No. 240, Issue 3 (700 Series), or later ARB-approved issue, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 350 hours' time in service from the last inspection until modified in accordance with (e).

(b) Within the next 350 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished within the last 1,050 hours' time in service, conduct a radiographic inspection or disassemble and inspect by dye penetrant the upper and lower actuator beam members and center diaphragms of the actuator beam for cracks in accordance with applicable PTL specified in (a) of this AD or later ARB-approved issue and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 1,400 hours' time in service from the last inspection until modified in accordance with (e).

(c) Conduct the visual inspection specified in (a) before further flight and the radiographic or dye penetrant inspection specified in (b) within the next 350 hours' time in service following any flight in which the nose landing gear is subjected to any of the high loadings discussed in the paragraph headed "The Cause" of the applicable PTL specified in (a) of this AD or later ARB-approved issue.

(d) Repair or replace any parts found damaged or cracked during the inspections required by this AD before further flight in accordance with the applicable PTL specified in (a) of this AD or later ARB-approved issue or an equivalent approved by the Chief, Aircraft Certification Staff, FAA Europe, Africa, Middle East Region.
