MODIFICATION No. :**  None R E A S O N /D E S C R I PT I O N /O P E R A T I O N A L C O N S E Q U E N C E S One operator has reported failure of the LH Main Landing Gear (MLG) retraction actuator cylinder rod. This rod failure occurred close to life limit of the component. This Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) requires to check the Part Number (P/N) of the MLG retraction actuator cylinder rod. Only the rod P/Ns C69029-2 and C69029-3 are affected by this ISB. Depending on the inspection results : - If the Cycles Since New is equal to or above 12,000 FC, remove the actuator and apply the Messier Dowty Service Bulletin No. 470-32-806 within : . 1,000 FC or 1 year after AD issuance (whichever occurs first) if the CSN is equal to or above 22,000 FC. . 2,000 FC or 2 years after AD issuance (whichever occurs first) if the CSN is below 22,000 FC, not exceeding 23,000 FC. In any case, the MLG retraction actuator cylinder rod must be removed at 32,000 FC due to life limit of this part. Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will prevent possible failure of the MLG retraction actuator cylinder rod.
