NTSB Recommends FAA Review Nose Landing Gear Overhaul Manual
The NTSB recommends the FAA review overhaul procedures for the Boeing 727 nose landing gear with Boeing assistance.
The NTSB recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration review, with assistance of the Boeing Company, the overhaul manual for the nose landing gear of the Boeing 727 airplane to determine if the overhaul procedures, as currently written, direct sufficient attention to the importance of installing the P/N 66-25805-X bushings in the P/N 69-66127-X link assemblies in the drag brace of the nose landing gear.
