Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
Compliance
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent fatigue-related cracking in the guide hooks of the cargo door, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the cargo door and, consequently, lead to rapid decompression of the airplane, accomplish the following: (a) Replace the guide hooks of the cargo doors with new, improved guide hooks, in accordance with CASA Service Bulletin SB- 235-52-23, Revision 2, dated June 9, 1994, or CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-52-23M, dated March 17, 1994; at the time specified in paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this AD, as applicable. Note 2: Replacements accomplished prior to the effective date of this AD in accordance with CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-52-23, dated June 16, 1993, or Revision 1, dated April 13, 1994, are considered acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (a) of this AD. (1) For airplanes listed in CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-52-23: Replace prior to the accumulation of 17,000 total landings. (2) For airplanes listed in CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-52-23M: Replace prior to the accumulation of 15,000 total landings. (b) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113. Note 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Standardization Branch, ANM-113. (c) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. (d) The replacement shall be done in accordance with CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-52-23, Revision 2, dated June 9, 1994, or CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-52-23M, dated March 17, 1994.
