Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10243 · Aerospatiale Model ATR42 Series Airplanes
Aerospatiale Model ATR42 Series Airplanes
Model ATR42 series airplanes as identified in Aerospatiale Service Bulletin No. ATR42-32-0081, dated July 16, 1996, and Aerospatiale Service Bulletin No. ATR42-32-0082, dated July 16, 1996; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Aerospatiale Model ATR42 series airplanes, that requires removal of certain landing gear attachment pins, and replacement of the pins with serviceable pins. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent wear of the attachment pins, which could result in collapse of the main landing gear.
