## 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:

It has been found cases where the pressure equalization valve was not installed in the left-hand bulkhead blowout panel, on the forward and/or aft cargo compartments, thus affecting the effectiveness of fire detection, containment and suppression.

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