What was found
DURING A 50-HOUR OIL CHANGE / INSPECTION EVENT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR LOWER STRUT FITTING WAS DISCOVERED TO BE CRACKED IN TWO ON THE RIGHT-HAND WEB SECTION. AFTER REMOVAL OF BROKEN MOUNT, EVIDENCE SHOWED THE CRACK HAD OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE FINAL FAILURE OF THE PART. DURING INVESTIGATION IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THIS AIRCRAFT HAD A FORCED LANDING MANY YEARS PREVIOUSLY. IT IS THE OPINION OF THE SUBMITTER THAT A HARD LANDING INSPECTION SHOULD INCLUDE A NONDESTRUCTIVE TEST OF THIS FITTING BE PERFORMED BEFORE RETURN TO SERVICE.
