To prevent loss of strength capability of the wing due to fatigue cracking accomplish the following; unless previously accomplished: (a) Before accumulating 30,000 hours' time in service or within the next 100 hours' time in service on those airplanes with 30,000 or more hours' time in service, unless accomplished within last 400 hours: (1) Inspect the wing front spar lower cap per paragraph (d) of this AD; and (2) Reinspect per paragraph (d) prior to accumulating 500 hours' time in service since the last inspection required by paragraph (a)(1). (b) Within 400 hours' time in service since inspection required in (a)(2) and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 2,000 hours' time in service, inspect per paragraph (e) of this AD. (c) Inspections per paragraph (e) of this AD (including the 2,000 hour repetitive inspection) may be substituted for the inspections required by paragraph (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this AD. (d) Inspect wing front spar lower cap per paragraph 1.D.(1) of Lockheed Alert Service Bulletin 88/SB-699B dated July 13, 1979, hereinafter referred to as Lockheed ASB 88/SB- 699B.
