AD 2023-11-12 Airworthiness Directives; DAHER AEROSPACE (Type Certificate Previously Held by SOCATA) Airplanes
Makes named: daher, socata. Models named: TBM 700. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to DAHER AEROSPACE (type certificate previously held by SOCATA) Model TBM 700 airplanes, serial numbers 434 through 1424 inclusive, except serial numbers 1408 and 1420, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the gripping strap on the emergency exit trim panel by following, as applicable for your serial-numbered airplane, sections A, B, and C in the Description of Accomplishment Instructions in Daher Aerospace Service Bulletin SB 70-304, dated July 2022 (Daher SB 70-304), except where Daher SB 70-304 specifies to discard certain parts, this AD requires removing those parts from service. If the operational check of the emergency exit fails, before further flight, re-modify the gripping strap on the emergency exit trim panel by following, as applicable for your serial-numbered airplane, sections A, B, and C in the Description of Accomplishment Instructions in Daher SB 70-304 until it passes this operational check, except where Daher SB 70-304 specifies to discard certain parts, this AD requires removing those parts from service.
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 MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as interference between the emergency exit trim panel and the upholstery panel, which could result in additional effort required to open the emergency exit door. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could lead to failure of the emergency exit door to perform its intended function during an emergency opening, resulting in reduced evacuation capacity from the airplane and injury to occupants.
Affected ADs
None.
