Unsafe Condition

Thermal oxidation of the carbon disks of certain BFGoodrich main brake assemblies due to exposure to elevated temperatures for prolonged periods, leading to deterioration of the MLG brakes and reduced braking performance.

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

Required Actions

Conduct a one-time inspection of wear indicator pins within 10 days to determine brake wear level. Replace brake assemblies if wear indicator pin length is ≤0.20 inch. Modify brake assemblies within 30 days by reducing wear indicator pin length and re-identify piston housings/identification plates by next brake removal. Incorporate specified wear limits into maintenance programs.
