Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Canadair Model CL-215-1A10 and CL-215-6B11 series airplanes. This action requires inspections to detect cracking of main landing gear (MLG) axles that have been reworked by chromium plating, and replacement of cracked axles. This amendment is prompted by reports of fatigue cracking found on several MLG wheel axes that had been chromium-plated during rework. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such cracking, which can result in failure of the axle, separation of the wheel from the aircraft, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane during takeoff or landing.
