Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of cracked and severed structure found in the aft fuselage cant bulkhead at station (STA) 1178.225 and vertical stabilizer rear spar installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracked and severed structure in the aft fuselage cant bulkhead and vertical stabilizer rear spar. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Affected ADs
