The Federal Aviation Administration's Airworthiness Directive 2023-22-06 addresses inspection requirements for engine truss mount upper lugs on Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Model 382 series and Model EC-130Q, C-130H, HP-C-130A, C-130A, and C-130B airplanes. This directive mandates one-time inspections to detect cracking or severed upper lugs on the outboard engines and requires replacement of the engine truss mount if damage is found. It aims to ensure the structural integrity of engine mounts and prevent potential catastrophic failures.
