AD 2022-03-01 Airworthiness Directives; Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Airplanes
Makes named: diamond. Models named: DA 42 NG, DA 42, DA 42 M-NG. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to: (1) Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH (DAI) Model DA 42 NG airplanes, serial numbers (S/N) 42.N303 through 42.N314, 42.N319, and 42.N320, certificated in any category, with a fuel tank connection hose part number (P/N) D4D-2817-10-70 installed; and (2) DAI Models DA 42, DA 42 NG, and DA 42 M-NG airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category, with a fuel tank connection hose P/N D4D-2817-10-70 identified in the Technical Details, section I.11, of Diamond Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB 42-138/MSB 42NG-080, dated July 1, 2019 (issued as one document) (Diamond MSB 42-138/42NG-080), installed.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
(1) Within 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD or within 4 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, replace the main fuel tank connection hoses in accordance with the Instructions, sections III.1 and III.2, in DAI Work Instruction WI-MSB 42-138/WI-MSB 42NG-080, Revision 0, dated July 1, 2019, (issued as one document) attached to Diamond MSB 42-138/42NG-080. Instead of P/N D4D-2817-10-70_01, you may also replace a fuel tank connection hose with P/N D4D-2817-10-70 that is not identified in paragraph (c) of this AD. (2) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install a fuel tank connection hose P/N D4D-2817-10-70 identified in paragraph (c) of this AD on any airplane.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as dissolved or detached fuel tank hose material entering the main fuel tank chambers. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent restricted fuel flow, which could result in fuel starvation. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in fuel starvation and reduced control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
