## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727, 727C, 727-100, and 727-100C series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections of the frame inner chord, outer chord, and web of the forward and aft edge frames of the lower lobe forward cargo door (FCD) cutout, and corrective action if necessary. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the forward and aft edge frames of the lower lobe FCD cutout, which could result in the loss of the FCD and rapid decompression of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
