Unsafe Condition

Corrosion and protection deterioration (paint and cadmium coating) of the main landing gear bogie beam could lead to rupture.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Inspect the inner side of the bogie beam between the two axles per specified service bulletins. Repair or replace the beam if cracks or corrosion are found before further flight. Replace beams with corrosion traces in critical areas within 10 months. Perform repetitive inspections at intervals not exceeding 18 months for painted beams or 3 years 6 months if no defects. Incorporate MHB Modification 784 as a terminating action.
