FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 747-100 to 747SR Series Aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive for Boeing 747-100 to 747SR series aircraft, requiring a one-time inspection to check for steel doubler installations at main entry doors and repetitive inspections for cracks in the skin, bearstrap, and steel doubler. The proposed directive aims to detect and correct cracks that could propagate and result in structural damage.
