Makes named: diamond. Models named: DA 42 NG, Model DA 42 M-NG. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

This AD applies to Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH (Diamond) Model DA 42 NG and Model DA 42 M-NG airplanes, serial numbers 42.N202, 42.N203, 42.N205 through 42.N207, 42.N210 through 42.N214, 42.N229 through 42.N338, 42.N340, 42.MN055, 42.MN057, and 42.MN058, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs (f)(1) and (2) of this AD. (1) Within the next 100 hours time-in-service after September 9, 2019 (the effective date of this AD): (i) Remove the pilot (left-hand) side rudder pedal gust lock mounts in accordance with steps 1 through 5 of the Instructions in Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Work Instruction WI-MSB 42NG-077, dated August 20, 2018. (ii) Revise the airplane flight manual (AFM) by adding the figures on page 8-11a of Diamond Aircraft Temporary Revision TR-MÄM 42-1097 Gustlock on Co-Pilot Side only, Doc. #7.01.15-E, dated July 18, 2018, into Chapter 8 of the AFM. (2) As of September 9, 2019 (the effective date of this AD), do not install on any airplane a pilot (left-hand) side rudder pedal gust lock mount.
Required actions
The Manager, Small Airplane Standards Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Mike Kiesov, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Standards Branch, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 329-4144; fax: (816) 329-4090; email: mike.kiesov@faa.gov. Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by 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 unsafe condition reported by the MCAI is insufficient clearance of the gust lock mounts on the pilot side rudder pedals. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent restricted rudder travel, which could result in reduced control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
