Airworthiness Directives; ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Airplanes

FAA / Federal Register · 2024-25981

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR72 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of the main landing gear (MLG) rear hinge pin being ruptured. This proposed AD would require replacing affected parts and prohibit the installation of affected parts, 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.
