Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a heavy maintenance check that found elongation on the upper section of the vertical member's assembly at the frame (FR) 24A cargo panel sub-structure. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct damage of the FR 24A vertical members assembly in the forward cargo compartment. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to affected parts hitting the 80VU rack and subsequent loss of several 80VU computers, with multiple system failures or partial disconnection of systems, which could result in reduced control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
