Accomplishing the revision of the existing maintenance or inspection program required by paragraph (i) of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking, accidental damage, and corrosion in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking, accidental damage, and corrosion could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces the ADs specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this AD. (1) AD 2017-19-13, Amendment 39-19043 (82 FR 43837, September 20, 2017) (AD 2017-19-13).
