## Summary

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that the passenger door functional test engineering requirements (FTERs) were not fully accomplished on several airplanes. This proposed AD would require measuring the passenger door steps, passenger door gaps, and passenger door stops rigging, and re-adjusting the door if necessary. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
