Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of door assist handles pulled loose from their lower attach point in the doorway support bracket during pre-flight checks. The FAA is issuing this AD to address loose door assist handles. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in door assist handles becoming detached, which could cause injuries to passengers, crew, or maintenance personnel when opening the door, and could limit exit from the airplane during a time-limited emergency evacuation.
Affected ADs
None.
