A proposal is not in force. If adopted, it becomes an AD, usually with changes. Only the Federal Register edition is official.

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) originated 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:

A nose landing gear leg failed in area of the nose gear leg pivot axle. This airplane was mostly operated on grass runways and training operations. This failure was based on a fatigue crack developed in the pivot axle. Material inspections figured out that this cracks may also develop on other serial No. pending the type of operation.

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