What was found
BONDED INSERTS WHICH PROVIDE THE ATTACH POINTS FOR THE METAL CARRIAGE ASSY TO THE HONEYCOMB FLAP END-RIB HAVE FAILED. INSPECTION OF THE INSERTS REVEALS THAT THE SEAL BETWEEN THE BONDED INSERT AND THE HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE BECOMES COMPROMISED. WATER IS INTRODUCED INTO THE HONEYCOMB END-RIB AND THE HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE FAILS. IMMEDIATELY INSPECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE IB AND OB FLAP ATTACH POINTS. ANY MOVEMENT NOTED BETWEEN THE FLAP CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY AND THE FLAP END-RIB (IB AND OB) SHOULD REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE FLAP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE BONDED INSERTS. MFG HAS BEEN CONTACTED. (K)
