Summary
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-03-09, which applies to certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR72-101, -102, -201, -202, -211, -212, and - 212A airplanes. AD 2023-03-09 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-03-09, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD continues to require the actions in AD 2023-03-09 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
