Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22602 · Cargo compartments
Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model DA 62 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model DA 62 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of baggage nets installed with defective buckles, which may result in failure of the baggage net to restrain the baggage or cargo, which could lead to injury to the occupants in the case of an emergency landing. This AD requires identifying and replacing the affected part. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
The following are “affected baggage nets” for purposes of this AD: Quick fix baggage net assembly part number D67-2550-90-00_02 with a date of manufacture of June 2016.
(1) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD or within 50 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect each baggage net to determine whether an affected baggage net is installed on your airplane.
Note 1 to the introductory text of paragraph (h)(1): The date of manufacture is located on the label with the abbreviation “DMF.”
(i) If an affected baggage net is installed, before further flight, remove the baggage net from service.
(ii) Before the next flight carrying baggage or cargo in the baggage compartment, install a baggage net that is not an affected baggage net in accordance with Figure 1 of the Accomplishment Instructions in Diamond Aircraft Industries Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB 62-028, Rev. 1, dated July 6, 2021.
(2) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install an affected baggage net on any airplane.
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.
