Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16706 · Landing gear
Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Model DA 42 Airplanes
This AD applies to Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Model DA 42 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions following Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Mandatory Service Bulletin No. MSB 42-088/2, dated February 3, 2011; and Work Instruction WI-MSB 42-088, dated February 3, 2011:
(1) For airplanes installed with main landing gear (MLG) joint P/N D60-3217-23-5x: Within 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD, replace each MLG joint P/N D60-3217-23-5x with a MLG joint P/N D64-3217-23-0x.
(2) For all airplanes: As of the effective date of this AD, do not install MLG joint P/N D60-3217-23-5x.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: EASA originally established an initial and repetitive inspection of the MLG joint part. We are not establishing an initial or repetitive inspection, and instead we are just requiring a mandatory one-time replacement of the part within 100 hours TIS after the effective date of this AD.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
