This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting airworthiness directive (AD) 2010-02-05 that was sent previously by individual notices to the known U.S. owners and operators of affected airplanes identified above. This AD requires modifying the flight deck door. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that certain equipment of the flight deck door is defective. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of this equipment, which could jeopardize flight safety.
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Within 3 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the cockpit door, in accordance with the applicable service bulletin identified in Table 1 of this AD.
