AD NUMBER: 2005-20-18
MANUFACTURER: Boeing SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-20-18 SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding two existing
airworthiness directives (AD), which apply to certain Boeing
transport category airplanes. One AD currently requires doing
certain inspections to detect cracks and corrosion around the lower
bearing of the actuator attach fittings of the inboard and outboard
flaps; repairing if necessary; and either overhauling the fittings
or replacing them, which ends certain repetitive inspections. The
other AD currently requires certain other inspections to detect
discrepancies of the actuator attach fittings of the flaps, and
follow-on and corrective actions if necessary, which ends the
repetitive inspections of the first AD. For certain airplanes, this
AD requires new inspections for discrepancies of the actuator
attach fittings of the flaps, and followon and corrective actions
if necessary, which ends the repetitive inspections of both
existing ADs. For all airplanes, this AD requires repetitive
overhaul/replacements of the actuator attach fittings of both the
inboard and outboard flaps. This AD results from reports of cracks
of the actuator attach fittings of the trailing edge flaps. We are
issuing this AD to prevent cracking and other damage of the
actuator attach fittings of the trailing edge flaps, which could
result in abnormal operation or retraction of a trailing edge flap,
and possible loss of controllability of the airplane.
