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 that would supersede an existing AD. 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:

Cracks have been reported in the front spar center web of the tailplane at the pick-up bracket and at lightening holes. If not detected early and repaired, these cracks may lead to failure of the tailplane.

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