Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found on the horizontal flange of the Frame 47 internal corner angle fitting while accomplishing the modification required by AD 2005-23-08, Amendment 39-14366 (70 FR 69056, November 14, 2005). We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the forward fitting of fuselage frame FR47, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the frame.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2005-23-08, Amendment 39-14366 (70 FR 69056, November 14, 2005).
