| Background: | Cracking has been reported in both of the subject flap components. It has been attributed to fatigue induced by repeated use of the footstep on the flap. The Inner Hinge Bracket inspections are unchanged from the previous issues of this Directive. However, the inspection of the Reinforcing Channel was a new requirement introduced in the previous amendment (Amdt 2) of this Directive.This amendment adds the Portuguese manufactured (T Mk 20) to the applicability of the AD. A review has indicated that the inspection is applicable to the Portuguese manufactured model.Amendment 2, effective 27 September 2007, was issued in response to a revision of the requirement document and introduced a compliance of flight hours and calendar time. |
