## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 747-8 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of stress corrosion cracking in certain stringers and end stringer splice assemblies. This AD requires repetitive inspections of the stringers and end stringer splice assemblies for any crack, shim, or gap, and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
