Review the current maintenance Manual Inspections required for Boeing 767 undercarriage components which have been involved in "hard landings or high drag/side load landing conditions" on unprepared surfaces with a view to ensure the inspections provide for the removal of any foreign matter which may have become lodged between components of the assemblies.

Maintenance Manual Chapter 05-51-01 will be revised to read "any component (landing gear, engine nacelle, etc.) which becomes immersed or buried in a contaminant (mud, salt water, etc.) should be disassembled, examined and, if necessary, cleaned."
