             2. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 500 flight hours or 300 flight cycles, whichever occurs later.

            Background:  The FAA received a report indicating that an operator found two fractured bolts and one cracked bolt in the side load underwing fittings of a Boeing Model 767-200 series aircraft. On the affected aircraft, both tension bolts on the outboard side load underwing fitting were completely fractured, and one bolt on the inboard side load underwing fitting was cracked. The cracking and fracturing of the tension bolts was due to stress corrosion. Fracture of the tension bolts in the side load underwing fittings, if not corrected, would eventually result in loss of the strut.
