Model DHC-8-201 and -202 airplanes with FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST00753NY (Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) STC SA97-106) installed. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated 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:
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.

As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install the DECA Aviation Engineering Limited Combi Abrasion Protection Systems configurations by using FAA STC ST00753NY (TCCA STC SA97-106), on any airplane.
(i) Removing the DECA Combi Abrasion Protection System in accordance with DECA Engineering Order EI4394, Revision 1, dated January 13, 2011, before the effective date of this AD is acceptable for compliance with the corresponding removal required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: This FAA AD only applies to Model DHC-8 Series 200 airplanes with Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) FAA ST00753NY (TCCA STC SA97-106) installed. The FAA has not approved any STC equivalent to Model DHC-8 series 100 TCCA STC SA00-107.
