Airworthiness Directive 2010-05-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Model ATR42 and ATR72 Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Which aircraft AD 2010-05-01 applies to
Applies to airplanes equipped with L'Hotellier Halon 1211 (BCF) fire extinguishers, P/N 863521-01, having any serial number identified in paragraph 1.A. of L'Hotellier Service Bulletin 863521-26-001, Revision 2, dated February 4, 2010.
Whether AD 2010-05-01 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
