This directive requires owners/operators of certain Boeing 747-400 series aircraft to carry out initial and repetitive inspections of the upper rudder pedal cover doubler—using the inspection methods and intervals in FAA AD 99-16-08—and offers an optional terminating action to end repeats. Effective 4 Nov 1999, it responds to reported disbonding that can interfere with pedal movement; operators (or their maintenance contractors) bear the inspection and corrective costs.
