## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of disconnections of certain hinge arms of the bulk cargo door (BCD) due to disbonding of the hinge arm bushes. This proposed AD would require either modifying and re-identifying affected BCDs or replacing affected BCDs, as specified in an European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
