Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the Airworthiness Limitations (ALS) and Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) sections of ATR ATR42-200/-300/-320, Time Limits Document (TL), Revision 8, dated October 17, 2016. The initial compliance time for accomplishing the tasks is at the applicable times specified in the ALS and CMR sections of ATR ATR42-200/-300/-320, Time Limits Document (TL), Revision 8, dated October 17, 2016, or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a determination that more restrictive maintenance instructions and airworthiness limitations are necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
