The airworthiness directive

47-10-31 LOCKHEED: (Was Service Note 1 of AD-763-3.) Applies to All Model 49 Serials Up to and Including 2088.

At periods not to exceed 100 hours the webs of all landing gear torque arms should be examined closely at the knee bolt ends for the presence of cracks. When a nose gear arm is found to be cracked, it should be replaced with a new part. When either main gear arm is found to be cracked, the 283557 or 292132 aluminum alloy torque link assemblies on both main gears should be replaced with 293882 steel torque link assemblies. When Note 47-10-21 is complied with, this periodic inspection procedure for the main gear may be discontinued.
