## Summary

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that inappropriate tooling was used to torque the bolts securing the baggage door stop fittings, which may have resulted in an improper torque condition. This proposed AD would require performing a torque check of affected bolts, and re-torquing, re-installing, or replacing affected bolts and nuts as applicable. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
