What was found
DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION, A LARGE CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN THE LT MLG BETWEEN THE TORQUE LINK MOUNTING EARS. IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE, IT IS LIKELY THE EAR WOULD HAVE SEPARATED, ALONG WITH THE LOWER END OF THE TORQUE LINKS. ALTHOUGH THE CRACK HAD PROGRESSED TO THE POINT IT WAS READILY IDENTIFIABLE, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR THE CRACK TO BE OBSCURED BY GREASE AND BE HARD TO DETECT.
