Unsafe Condition
Failure of the electric rack-to-structure attachment points due to missing fasteners, cracked fitting angles, or elongated fastener holes, which could result in loss of airplane systems, structural damage, and possible electrical arcing.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Perform a detailed visual inspection of the electric rack 101VU attachments and crossbeams to detect missing fasteners, cracked fitting angles, or elongated holes. Repeat inspections at intervals not exceeding 2,300 flight cycles if no discrepancies are found. Replace missing or damaged fasteners, install Modification No. 10414 for cracked fitting angles, and repair damaged crossbeams as specified. Compliance with inspections terminates upon installing Modification No. 10414.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Compliance Time
Prior to the accumulation of 7,000 total flight cycles, or within 50 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. For discrepancies found, compliance is required prior to further flight.
