## Discrepancy

TORQUE LINK SEPARATED ON ABORTED LANDING ALLOWING WHEEL AND AXLE ASSY TO SEPARATED FROM AC.  SAFE LANDING ON UPPER CASTING ASSY WAS MADE WITH DAMAGE TO CASTING AND FLAP.  AD 72-08-06 OR THIS LINK CALLED FOR 500 HR INSP.  INTERVAL PAR 203.8 HR PRIOR.  WOULD SUGGEST THAT AD SHOULD BE CHARGED TO RETIRE THESE PARTS AT 5000 HR.  (K)
