| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
An aircraft part was found in a privately owned garden located near the airport of Liege (EBLG).
The part fell down from a B737 airplane, on approach to EBLG.
Cause:
The in-flight and undesired detachment of the LH inboard flap/inboard seal plate was due to the failure of the attachment bolts of the pno 67279-7 plate adaptor. This was caused by the use of NAS 517 bolts instead of the Boeing-prescribed BACB30NN5K23.
