AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Repetitively inspect the spigot housing plate for cracks and replace any cracked plates. Inspect spigots and spigot posts for corrosion, install improved spigots if corrosion exceeds limits, and eventually install improved spigots even if corrosion is within limits. For certain airplanes, inspect spigot bushes for migration gaps exceeding 0.5 inch, replace bushes with modified ones if gaps exist, and eventually replace bushes with modified ones if no gaps are found.
