## 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:

The manufacturer of the Transformer Rectifier Unit (TRU) part of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) system has identified an incorrect design of the part. * * * * * This condition, if not corrected, and if occurring while the RAT is deployed, could result in a degraded direct current power which is distributed to essential aeroplane systems and therefore aeroplane operations might be impaired. * * * * *

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