What was found
AT ANNUAL INSPECTION, A CLICKING NOISE WAS NOTED WHEN LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE END FITTINGS RIVETED IN THE TUBE ASSEMBLY WERE WORKING. CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WAS PROBABLY NOT IMMINENT, HOWEVER IF LEFT UNATTENDED THE RIVETS WOULD HAVE EVENTUALLY SHEARED ALLOWING THE END FITTING TO SEPARATE FROM TUBE.
