| Background: | The FAA received reports of corrosion on the floor structure supports for the escape slides of the main deck entry doors. The corrosion was found during scheduled deployment tests of the main entry door escape slides. Uncontrolled corrosion could result in separation of the escape slide from the lower door sill during deployment, and subsequently prevent proper operation during an emergency.Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD, which results from a report that the square and conical washers may be installed incorrectly in the girt bar support fitting on aircraft on which the support fitting was repaired or replaced, in accordance with the requirements of the original AD. |
