Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a quality escape identified in the production assembly line on the main landing gear (MLG) support rib 5 lugs, which resulted in tool mark damage in the bore of the forward and aft lugs. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue damage of the MLG support rib 5, which could result in structural failure and subsequent collapse of the MLG.
Affected ADs
None.
