Unsafe Condition

Loss of main landing gear braking effectiveness due to brake wear exceeding maximum limits specified in the AD.

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

Required Actions

Within 180 days after the effective date, inspect brake part numbers listed in the AD for wear. Replace any brake worn beyond the specified maximum wear limit (e.g., 2.10 inches or 3.00 inches) prior to further flight. Incorporate the maximum brake wear limits into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program within the same 180-day period.

(b) Within 180 days after the effective date of this AD, incorporate the maximum brake wear limits specified in paragraph (a) of this AD into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program.

(c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate.

NOTE: The request should be forwarded through an FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may concur or comment and then send it to the Manager, Los Angeles ACO.

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.

This amendment (39-8081, AD 91-23-12) becomes effective on December 9, 1991.
