Required Actions

Perform an ultrasonic inspection to detect cracking on the forward fittings in the radius of frame 40 adjacent to the tension bolts in the center section of the wings. If no crack is detected, repeat the inspection at intervals not to exceed 6,500 landings or 16,000 flight hours. If a crack is detected, install an access door, perform an eddy current inspection, and take further actions as specified, including blending out the crack or repairing it if necessary.
