Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracking of the main landing gear (MLG) rib 6 aft bearing forward lug. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the MLG rib 6 aft bearing lugs, which could result in collapse of the MLG upon landing.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2015-03-06, Amendment 39-18102 (80 FR 8511, February 18, 2015) (“AD 2015-03-06”).
