| Background: | The FAA received reports of fatigue cracks at the inner chord and web of the body station 1265 edge frame between stringers 23 and 27. Such cracking could result in rapid decompression of the aircraft.This amendment allows the use of an FAA approved Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) to the requirements of this AD, without the need for the operator to continually apply for an exclusion for repairs that are already approved on a form 8100-9 as an AMOC by an FAA delegate.The original issue of this AD became effective on 20 April 2000. |
