AD: all PB4Y-2, LB-30, C-87A

AD NUMBER: 2003-18-01
MANUFACTURER:
Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Company, Odom William P, Transaire Spraying Co
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-18-01


SUMMARY: This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to various surplus military airplanes manufactured by Consolidated, Consolidated Vultee, and Convair, that currently requires repetitive inspections to find fatigue cracks in the lower rear cap of the wing front spar, front spar web, and lower skin of the wings; repair or replacement of any cracked part with a new part; and follow-on inspections at new intervals. This amendment continues to require those actions and revises and clarifies the applicability of the existing AD. The actions specified in this AD are intended to find and fix fatigue cracking, which could result in structural failure of the wings and consequent loss of control of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
