NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
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.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to review, with assistance from Boeing, the overhaul manual for the nose landing gear of the Boeing 727. The review should determine whether the current procedures sufficiently emphasize the importance of installing bushings with part number 66-25805-X into the link assemblies with part number 69-66127-X in the drag brace of the nose landing gear.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
