Narrative:Saudi Arabian Airlines flight 931 from Dammam, Saudi Arabia, lost the inboard fore flap of the right wing on touchdown at Frankfurt International Airport, Germany.
The aircraft landed on runway 07R in darkness at 05:07 hours local time and taxied to parking position S506 on the cargo apron. Some three hours later several holes and scratches were noticed on the aircraft fuselage along with damage on the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer. A subsequent inspection showed that the inboard fore flap of the right wing, measuring 8x1 meters, was missing.
The missing part along with attachment parts were located next to the runway near the touchdown area.
Conclusions:
The flap holder was destroyed by a pronounced oscillation fracture (vibratory corrosion cracking), which started in a corrosion trough.
