Compliance:
For Requirements 1 and 2 - Within 30 days after the effective date of this Directive or
prior to the issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness, whichever occurs first.
This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 22 June 2007.
Background:
The DGAC and EASA ADs listed in Table 1 and 2 of this Directive require one time
actions for which the compliance date and/or period has passed. CASA has
determined that these ADs may be applicable to recently registered or imported
Australian aircraft. This Directive is issued to ensure all State of Design ADs are
complied with.
CASA appreciates that, due to date of aircraft manufacture or aircraft configuration
and modification status, not all the ADs listed in Table 1 and 2 will be applicable to
all ATR 42 series aeroplanes.

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE
For the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below issues the following Airworthiness Directive (AD) under
subregulation 39.001(1) of CASR 1998. The AD requires that the action set out in the requirement section (being action that the delegate considers necessary to
correct the unsafe condition) be taken in relation to the aircraft or aeronautical product mentioned in the applicability section: (a) in the circumstances mentioned in
the requirement section; and (b) in accordance with the instructions set out in the requirement section; and (c) at the time mentioned in the compliance section.
AD/ATR 42/3
8/2007
Applicability:
Requirement:
Carry out ultrasonic cleaning of the Propeller Control Unit servo ball screw on
Hamilton Sundstrand 14SF5 propellers in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand
Component Maintenance Manual 61-21-07.
Note: DGAC AD 2002-070-090(B) R1 dated 15 May 2002 refers.
Compliance:
Before reaching 10,500 flight hours since new or since last critical inspection; or
Before further flight, in the case of contamination; or
Before further flight, in the case of anomalies found during production acceptance
tests.
This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 2 August 2007.
Background:
Three cases of propeller pitch lock during final approach have been experienced on
ATR aircraft. During two of these events the asymmetric power resulting from the
propeller pitch lock was not recognized by the crew during landing and the aircraft
veered off the runway after selection of reverse power while the Low Pitch
condition was not effective for both engines.
On one case the investigation led on the suspected components of the propeller pitch
control system showed significant anomalies of the pitch control unit ball screw. The
hang up and the loss of efficiency noted on the test bench are due to ball screw
contamination. These anomalies could contribute to a pitch lock condition when the
combine with another propeller component failure of the pitch control system.
The actions detailed in the AD are intended to clean the ball screw and avoid the
propeller lock situation which could lead to reduced controllability of the aircraft
during landing.

DM
Applicability:
ATR 42-200, 42-300 and 42-320, all serial numbers, unless MLG side brace
assemblies P/N D22710000 with suffix -9 are installed on both sides, as specified
in ATR Service Bulletin (SB) ATR 42-32-0092 (ATR modification No. 8463).
Requirement:
Compliance:
Background:
An ATR 42-300 experienced a collapse of the Right (Starboard) Main Landing Gear
when taxiing. The cause of the failure was subsequently found to be a crack in the
side brace assembly originating from a corrosion pit in a very highly stressed area of
the upper arm. The dimensions of the corrosion pit were lower than the minimum
defect size that can be detected during overhaul inspections.
This AD is issued to require re-inspection of MLG side brace assemblies previously
inspected in accordance with Rev 1 of Messier Dowty SB 631-32-191 and reduces the
inspection interval initially proposed in EASA AD 2007-0112 in order to maintain the
same level of confidence.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 18 April 2008.
Background:
EASA has advised that an ATR operator reported some spurious Pitch disconnect
warning and AIL and R ELEV Anti-Ice Horn Fault caution annunciations which
precluded the use of the autopilot.
During the investigation, chafed wiring was found in the rear baggage zone, close to
the forward side of the aft pressure bulkhead, due to contact with a structural securing
screw. The concerned wiring harness includes rudder trim, pitch trim and stick
pusher control wires. Damages on those wires might lead to the loss of fail safe
criteria for those critical functions.
To address the unsafe condition, this Directive mandates a one-time inspection and a
routing modification of the electrical wires in the bulkhead area.

The contaminated nature of this gas, when used against a fire, may provide
reduced fire suppression, endangering the safety of the aeroplane and its
occupants. In addition, extinguisher activation may lead to the release of toxic
fumes, possibly causing injury to aeroplane occupants.
For the reasons described above, EASA issued AD 2009-0276 to require the
identification and removal from service of certain batches of fire extinguishers
and replacement with serviceable units.
Since that AD was issued, LHotellier discovered that when revising the SB to
revision 1, a group of serial numbers was inadvertently deleted.
For the reason described above, this AD retains the requirements of EASA AD
2009-0276R1, which is superseded, and expands the Applicability by

One ATR operator has experienced in-flight elevator travel limitations with
unusual effort being necessary on pitch axis to control the aeroplane, while
the pitch mistrim message appeared on the ADU display. The elevators
seemed to be jammed.
Reason:
During the post-flight Inspection, it was discovered that the LH elevator lower
stop assembly was broken at the level of the angles, which may have
prevented the elevator to respond normally to the flight control input.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to reduced control of
the aeroplane.
For the reasons described above, and as a precautionary measure, this AD
requires a one-time inspection of the elevator hinge fittings and the reporting
of all findings. Depending on the results, further action may be considered.

Manufacturer(s):
Applicability:
ATR 42-200, ATR 42-300, ATR 42-320, ATR 42-400 and ATR 42-500 models, all
manufacturer serial numbers.
Reason:
Floor beam at Frame 26: During maintenance checks, the floor beam at frame
(FR) 26 was found cracked on several ATR 42 aeroplanes.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to reduce the structural
integrity of the aeroplane. A new Structural Significant Items (SSI) task will be
introduced in the next revision of the ATR42 Time Limits document in order to
address this issue.
MRBR / MPD discrepancy on Wings item: A discrepancy has been noticed
between the Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) / Maintenance Planning
Document (MPD) and the Time Limits document. ATR modifications 02805 and
08039 were erroneously stated similar in the MRBR/MPD, inducing misleading
applicability of the SSI tasks depending upon the document used and leading
operators to miss several inspections, as evidenced during a recent review.
Following the structural investigation, new inspection thresholds have been
calculated and will be introduced in the next revisions of the ATR Time Limits
documents (Revision 8 and Revision 9, as applicable to the aeroplane models)
and MRBR/MPD documents.
For the reasons described above, this AD requires repetitive inspections of the
FR26 floor beam, and of several areas of the wings, as defined in the ATR42
Time Limits document and, depending on findings, the accomplishment of

Reason:
Prompted by cases of rupture of Main Landing Gear (MLG) rear hinge pin part
number (P/N) D61000 encountered in service in 1994 and 1996, DGAC France
issued AD 96-131-064 (B) for ATR 42 aeroplanes and AD 96-096-029 (B) for
ATR 72 aeroplanes to require inspection and, depending on findings, corrective
action.
Since those ADs were issued, new occurrences of cracked rear hinge pin P/N
D61000 were reported on ATR72 MLG.
The result of subsequent investigation revealed that the affected pins were
subjected to a non-detected thermal abuse done in production during grinding
process. Analysis also showed that other MLG pin P/Ns could be affected by
the same nonconformity.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to MLG structural
failure, possibly resulting in collapse of the MLG and consequently injury to the
occupants of the aeroplane.
For the reasons described above, this AD requires inspection and, depending
on findings, replacement of affected pins.

Time(s):
Not later than the next MLG overhaul scheduled after the
effective date of this AD
2/3
compliance time defined in Table 1 of this AD, replace the affected MLG,
with a serviceable MLG in accordance with ATR approved maintenance
instructions.
Note 3: For the purpose of paragraph (6) of this AD, a serviceable MLG is a
part incorporating pins that are:
- outside of the identified batch as listed in Messier Bugatti Dowty SB
631-32-215 or SB 631-32-220, as applicable, or
- inspected and reconditioned in accordance with the instructions of
Messier Bugatti Dowty SB 631-32-215 or SB 631-32-220, as
applicable.
(7) A review of MLG maintenance records is acceptable to make the
identification as required by paragraphs (1), (3) and (5) of this AD,
provided those records can be relied upon for that purpose, and the P/N
and S/N of LH and RH MLG pins can be conclusively identified from that
review.

Reason:
1/3
of ground connection on the terminal block of the fuel probe, due to an incorrect
application of wiring instructions in production during fuel probe manufacturing
between June 2011 and August 2013. The investigation identified a batch of
parts, suspected to be affected by this manufacturing defect. Some of these
probes were delivered as spares, and operators may have installed these
probes on their in-service aeroplanes.
In case an affected fuel probe is installed on each wing of an aeroplane, being
not equipped with an independent fuel low level measurement system or an
aeroplane operated in accordance with ETOPS rules, the defected fuel probes
could indicate a higher fuel quantity value than the real quantity of the on-board
fuel.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to an undetected fuel
starvation and consequent dual engine in-flight flame out.
For the reasons described above, this AD requires the identification and
replacement of the affected fuel probes.
This AD is revised to correct typographical errors.

Subsequent investigation identified an insufficient gap between the emergency
exit door internal skin structure and the overhead stowage compartment fitting,
installed on the rail, as a cause of the interference.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could prevent an unobstructed
opening of both Type III Emergency Exit doors in case of emergency
