Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10538 · Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA) Model CN-235 Series Airplanes
Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA) Model CN-235 Series Airplanes
All Model CN-235 series airplanes, including serial number (S/N) C-011, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all CASA Model CN-235 series airplanes, that requires modification of the passenger and crew doors and repetitive visual inspections, adjustments, and tests of the passenger and crew door latching and locking systems to ensure correct operation. 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 inadvertent opening of a door during flight of the airplane, which could result in rapid decompression of the passenger cabin.
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.
