Unsafe Condition

Fatigue cracking has been found on the vertical stabilizer during full-scale fatigue testing, specifically on the flanges and finger strips at rib 5.0 of the vertical stabilizer.

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

Required Actions

Conduct repetitive eddy current inspections of the left-hand and right-hand flanges and finger strips at rib 5.0 of the vertical stabilizer to detect fatigue cracking and repair if necessary. Install a steel reinforcement in the torsion box at rib 5.0 and cold-expand certain bolt holes on the torsion box. The modification with steel reinforcement terminates the repetitive inspection requirement.
