On those assemblies which have already achieved 2,750 landings, the requirements of PTL 90 and Modification F.1794 must be accomplished within 250 landings or 2 months, whichever occurs later, after the effective date of this AD.

B. For all Model 700 and 800 series, inspect the top boom/liner assemblies for cracks between station 132.85 and station 138 on all Model 700 series in accordance with PTL 309, Issue 2 dated December 10, 1979, and all Model 800 series in accordance with PTL 178, Issue 2 dated December 10, 1979, prior to the accumulation of 27,500 total landings.
