If your plane has **metal wing root fairing bands** (the metal strips covering where the wing joins the fuselage), you must inspect them **every 100 hours of flight time**.\n\nSpecifically, you need to check:\n*   The bands are securely attached\n*   They aren't rubbing or wearing against other parts (chafing)\n*   They have no cracks\n\nPay extra attention to the area around the screwdriver access hole at the back edge of the wing. This prevents structural damage that could affect flight safety."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-aus-13-wing-root-fairing-band","history":"/api/acts/ad-aus-13-wing-root-fairing-band/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-aus-13-wing-root-fairing-band/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-aus-13-wing-root-fairing-band/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-aus-13-wing-root-fairing-band/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-aus-13-wing-root-fairing-band/documents"}}
