This AD was prompted by reports of very high temperatures, near the floor in the aft lower lobe cargo compartment. We are issuing this AD to prevent overheating of the aft lower lobe cargo compartment, where, if temperature sensitive cargo is present, the release of flammable vapors could result in a fire or explosion if exposed to an ignition source.

Affected ADs

None.
