Requires operators of the listed Boeing 747 models to carry out inspections and corrective actions for forward and aft cargo‑door hinge fasteners by following FAA Airworthiness Directive 2008‑14‑08 and the Boeing service bulletin cited. Maintenance organisations must inspect and, where necessary, replace or repair hinge fasteners per the technical instructions.
