Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 2003-18-10 Amdt 39-13301.

Compliance: As specified in the Requirement document, with a revised effective date of 27 November 2003.
This Amendment becomes effective on 18 March 2004.
Background: The FAA issued a Directive which was prompted by analysis of data that identified specific initial inspection thresholds and repetitive inspection intervals for certain principal structural elements to be added to the Airworthiness Limitations Instructions. The actions specified by this Directive are intended to ensure that fatigue cracking of various principal structural elements is detected and corrected.
Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD, which expands applicability and requires incorporating a new revision into the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the MPD Document.
The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 27 December 2001.
