What was found
RIGHT MAIN GEAR STRUT EMERGENCY RELEASE CABLE MANUALLY DISENGAGES STRUT UPLOCKS SHOULD A HYDRAULIC FAILURE OCCUR. THIS CABLE WAS FOUND WITH 75 PERCENT OF STRANDS BROKEN AT SWAGE END WHERE IT ATTACHES TO UPLOCK MECHANISM WITH A CLEVIS PIN. THIS FACILITY HAS FILED A PREVIOUS M OR D REPORT FOR THIS CONDITION. COMPLETE FAILURE OF THIS CABLE WOULD CREATE A CONDITION WHERE THE NOSE AND LEFT MAIN STRUT WOULD EXTEND AND THE RIGHT MAIN WOULD REMAIN LOCKED IN THE WHEEL WELL. THIS CONDITION WAS DISCOVERED DURING A FACTORY A INSPECTION (200 HOUR REQUIREMENT). IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT RAYTHEON ENGINEERS SOLVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
