Unsafe Condition

Fracture of the lower drag strut of the nose landing gear (NLG) caused by a thin wall thickness condition during manufacturing, which could result in NLG collapse.

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

Required Actions

Perform a one-time visual inspection to determine the part and serial numbers of the lower drag strut. If serial number prefix is HM or FRG, conduct an ultrasonic inspection to measure wall thickness. Depending on thickness, either no further action, overhaul within 5 years, or replace prior to further flight.

Compliance Time

Within 90 days after effective date for visual inspection; prior to further flight for ultrasonic inspection and replacement if needed; overhaul within 5 years if thickness is within certain limits.
