Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17397 · Power plant
Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Airplanes
This AD applies to Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Models DA 42 M-NG and DA 42 NG airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Models DA 42 M-NG and DA 42 NG airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as the engine air inlet filter is subject to icing. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the following actions within 30 days after April 8, 2013 (the effective date of this AD).
(1) For Model DA 42 NG airplanes: Incorporate the following into the applicable pilot's operating handbook (POH)/FAA-approved airplane flight manual (AFM) into the applicable sections:
(i) Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG AFM Temporary Revision TR-MÄM 42-701, Doc. 7.01.15-E, dated November 20, 2012;
(ii) Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG AFM Temporary Revision TR-MÄM 42-701, Doc. 7.01.16-E, dated November 20, 2012; and
(iii) Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG AFM Temporary Revision TR-OÄM-42-200/a, Doc. #7.01.15-E, dated November 30, 2012.
(2) For Model DA 42 M-NG airplanes: Incorporate the following into the applicable POH/FAA-approved AFM into the applicable sections:

(ii) Diamond Aircraft DA 42 NG AFM Temporary Revision TR-OÄM-42-200/a, Doc. #7.01.15-E, dated November 30, 2012.
(3) The actions required by paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD may be performed by the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9 (a)(1)-(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as required by 14 CFR 91.417, 121.380, or 135.439.
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.
