Unsafe Condition
Incorrect part numbers for the attachment bolts and washers of the forward cargo container and pallet latches in the aft cargo compartment could detach from the floor when subjected to high acceleration forces during takeoff, landing, and flight, leading to cargo shifting and consequent structural damage and reduced controllability.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Conduct a one-time inspection of the attachment bolts and washers for the forward cargo container and pallet latches in the aft cargo compartment to verify correct part numbers. Replace any bolts and washers with the correct part numbers if incorrect. Revise the Airplane Flight Manual and supplements to specify cargo loading procedures until the inspection is completed.
