The airworthiness directive
50-36-01 CONVAIR: Applies to All Model 240 Aircraft Incorporating Original Type Nose Strut Inner Cylinders, Bendix P/N 155285.
Compliance required at next No. 1 operation unless already accomplished, on all nose landing gear struts whose total time exceeds 1,000 hours, and at each No. 3 operation thereafter.
Due to recently reported failures of the nose strut inner cylinder the following is required:
Visually inspect P/N 155285 with an 8-power or higher glass for cracks in the area below the scissors lug boss approximately 4 inches above axle housing paying particular attention to the machined radius just below the scissors lug boss. Clean and remove paint from this area. Any evidence of cracks will require replacement of part. Parts with cracks may be repaired in accordance with the limits and procedures specified in Bendix Service Bulletin LG 518. CVAC Service Bulletin 240-366 is reprint of Bendix Bulletin LG 518.
This supersedes AD 50-10-01 for the purpose of revising the compliance statement.
