Boeing 757-200 cargo door inspections required
If you operate certain Boeing Model 757-200, -200CB, or -200PF airplanes, the FAA requires a maintenance-record check for repairs at the forward and aft main-deck cargo door hinge areas. It also requires repetitive open-hole high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for cracks in unrepaired areas of the bear strap, skin, doubler, and upper sill chord at the forward and aft hinge attachment holes, plus any applicable corrective actions. The AD was prompted after cracks were found on three Model 757-200PF airplanes and is intended to address that unsafe condition.
