## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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:

During maintenance, cracks have been discovered about the left and right rib at the connection of the center wing and the fuselage localized at the fuselage station FS160.80. Cracks spread in the rib could result in structural failure.

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
