AD 2024-07-03 Airworthiness Directives; Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Airplanes
Makes named: diamond. Models named: DA 62. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model DA 62 airplanes, serial numbers 62.C001 through 62.C044 inclusive and 62.008 through 62.203 inclusive, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 30 days or 30 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, review the airplane maintenance records to determine if the horizontal stabilizer attachment bolts were last torqued to 45 newton meter (Nm) and if the torque value is not 45 Nm, or if the value cannot be determined, before further flight, torque the bolts to 45 Nm, in accordance with steps 3 through 6 of the Instructions, Section III, in Diamond Aircraft Industries Work Instruction WI-MSB-62-052, Revision 0, dated September 18, 2023, attached to Diamond Aircraft Industries Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB 62-052, Revision 0, dated September 18, 2023 (issued as one document).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report that certain revisions of the airplane maintenance manual specified incorrect torque values for the horizontal stabilizer attachment bolts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address incorrect torque values for the horizontal stabilizer attachment bolts. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in premature wearing of the horizontal stabilizer attachment bolts, loss of structural integrity of the horizontal stabilizer, subsequent separation of the horizontal stabilizer from the fuselage, and loss of 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.
