Models named: 727-200, 727-200F series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 727-200 and 727-200F series airplanes, certificated in any category, line numbers 1103 and subsequent.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Before the accumulation of 60,000 total flight cycles, or within 24 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later: Do a one-time detailed inspection for cracking of the pressure floor of both main wheel wells, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 727-53A0124, Revision 3, dated November 30, 1989, except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD. If any indication of distress is found (such as cracking or flaked paint): Before further flight, do an eddy current inspection or penetrant inspection for cracking of the pressure floor of both main wheel wells, and do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions, by accomplishing all the actions specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 727-53A0124, Revision 3, dated November 30, 1989. Do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions before further flight.

Unsafe condition

This AD is intended to complete certain mandated programs intended to support the airplane reaching its limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that support the established structural maintenance program. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking in the pressure floor of the main wheel wells, which could lead to rapid loss of cabin pressurization.

Affected ADs

This AD affects AD 91-22-08, Amendment 39-8068 (56 FR 57233, November 8, 1991).
