defects have been attributed to loss of hub through bolt torque. Dowty believes through bolt torque loss is associated with the sealant applied to the hub parting surfaces during assembly.

            This Directive ensures hub through bolt torque is maintained, thereby reducing the potential for cracking and excessive fretting, and provides data for continuing investigation into this problem.

            The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 31 August 2000.
