Airworthiness Directives; Diamond 

Aircraft Industries Inc. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model 

DA 62 airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by reports of baggage nets installed with 

defective buckles, which may result in 

failure of the baggage net to restrain the 

baggage or cargo, which could lead to 

injury to the occupants in the case of an 

emergency landing. This AD requires 

identifying and replacing the affected 

part. The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD is effective January 19, 

2024. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of January 19, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: 

AD Docket: You may examine the AD 

docket at regulations.gov under Docket 

No. FAA–2023–1812; or in person at 

Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 

5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this final rule, the mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information 

(MCAI), any comments received, and 

other information. The address for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to all Diamond Aircraft Industries 

Inc. Model DA 62 airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 1, 2023 (88 FR 60406). The 

NPRM was prompted by AD CF–2021– 

24, dated July 21, 2021 (also referred to 

as the MCAI), issued by Transport 

Canada, which is the aviation authority 

for Canada. The MCAI states Diamond 

Aircraft Industries Inc. received reports 

of defective buckles installed on the 

baggage nets on DA 40 NG and DA 62 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
86820 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 240 / Friday, December 15, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

airplanes. An investigation revealed a 

quality issue during the manufacturing 

of the Quick Fix Baggage Net Assembly, 

part number (P/N) D44–2550–90–00 and 

P/N D67–2550–90–00_02, by the 

supplier. P/N D44–2550–90–00 baggage 

nets can also be installed on DA 40, DA 

40 D, and DA 40 F airplanes. The 

baggage nets installed with defective 

buckles may not maintain sufficient 

holding force to restrain the baggage or 

cargo that is carried in the same 

compartment as passengers. 

Consequently, they may not provide 

adequate means to protect the 

passengers from injury. This condition, 

if not corrected, could result in the 

failure of the baggage net to restrain the 

baggage or cargo, which could lead to 

injury to the occupants in the case of an 

emergency landing. The MCAI 

mandates the removal and replacement 

of the affected baggage nets. The MCAI 

also renders any affected baggage nets 

not eligible for installation as a 

replacement part on Diamond Aircraft 

Industries Inc. Model DA 40, DA 40 D, 

DA 40 F, DA 40 NG, and DA 62 

airplanes. 

Previously, the FAA issued AD 2022– 

13–06, Amendment 39–22092 (87 FR 

40435, July 7, 2022) (AD 2022–13–06) to 

address the unsafe condition on all 

Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model 

DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 NG 

airplanes (including Model DA 40 D 

airplanes that have been converted to 

Model DA 40 NG airplanes). AD 2022– 

13–06 requires removing and replacing 

the affected baggage nets. The Diamond 

Aircraft Industries Inc. Model DA 62 

airplanes were not included in AD 

2022–13–06. This AD requires these 

same actions on the Diamond Aircraft 

Industries Inc. Model DA 62 airplanes. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

require identifying and replacing 

affected baggage nets. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the 

baggage net to restrain the baggage or 

cargo. This unsafe condition, if not 

corrected, could result in injury to 

occupants in the case of an emergency 

landing. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1812. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received no comments on 

the NPRM or on the determination of 

the costs. 

Conclusion 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI referenced 

above. The FAA reviewed the relevant 

data and determined that air safety 

requires adopting this AD as proposed. 

Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products. This AD is adopted as 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed Diamond Aircraft 

Industries Mandatory Service Bulletin 

MSB 62–028, Rev. 1, dated July 6, 2021, 

which specifies procedures for 

identifying, removing, and replacing the 

affected baggage nets. 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in ADDRESSES. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI 

The MCAI applies to Diamond 

Aircraft Industries Inc. Model DA 40, 

DA 40 D, DA 40 F, DA 40 NG, and DA 

62 airplanes. This AD only applies to 

Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model 

DA 62 airplanes and does not apply to 

Model DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 NG 

airplanes because those airplanes are 

already covered by AD 2022–13–06. 

This AD does not apply to Model DA 40 

D airplanes because that model does not 

have an FAA type certificate. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 81 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Replace baggage net ...................................... 0.25 work-hour × $85 per hour = $21.25 ....... $441 $462.25 $37,442.25 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
