AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Model 

DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 NG 

airplanes. This proposed AD results 

from 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 describes the unsafe 

condition as 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. The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by May 23, 2022.

Background 

Transport Canada, which is the 

aviation authority for Canada, has 

issued Transport Canada AD CF–2021– 

24, dated July 21, 2021 (referred to after 

this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition on all Diamond Aircraft 

Industries Inc. Model DA 40, DA 40 D, 

DA 40 F, DA 40 NG, and DA 62 

airplanes. The MCAI states: 

Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. (DAI) has 

received reports of defective buckles 

installed as part of the baggage nets on DA 

40 NG and DA 62 aeroplanes. An 

investigation revealed a quality escape in 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 aeroplanes. 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, and 

consequently, 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. 

DAI undertook a voluntary campaign to 

replace all defective Quick Fix Baggage Net 

Assemblies. However, DAI was unable to 

complete the campaign in its entirety, and 

therefore, a number of aeroplanes with 

defective baggage nets that have not yet been 

replaced, remain in operation. 

As a result, DAI issued Mandatory Service 

Bulletin (MSB) 40–093, MSB D4–110, MSB 

F4–039, MSB 40NG–065 and MSB 62–028, 

providing accomplishment instructions to 

replace the defective Quick Fix Baggage Net 

Assemblies. 

This [Transport Canada] AD mandates the 

removal and replacement of the affected 

baggage nets. This [Transport Canada] AD 

also renders any affected baggage nets not 

eligible for installation as a replacement part 

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

DA 62 aeroplanes. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at https://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2022– 

0450. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is 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 and service 

information referenced above. The FAA 

is issuing this NPRM after determining 

the unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other products of the same type 

design. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed the following 

service information issued by Diamond 

Aircraft Industries, which specify 

procedures for identifying, removing, 

and replacing the affected baggage nets. 

• Mandatory Service Bulletin No. 

MSB 40–093, Rev. 0, dated July 6, 2021. 

• Mandatory Service Bulletin No. 

MSB F4–039, Rev. 0, dated July 6, 2021. 

• Mandatory Service Bulletin No. 

MSB 40NG–065, Rev. 1, dated July 6, 

2021. 

These documents are distinct since 

they apply to different airplane models. 

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 the ADDRESSES section. 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the MCAI or Service Information 

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 proposed AD would 

not apply to Model DA 62 airplanes. 

The FAA plans to address Model DA 62 

airplanes in future rulemaking. 

In addition, the MCAI applies to the 

Model DA 40 D airplane and this 

proposed AD would not because it does 

not have an FAA type certificate. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 800 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

airplane 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Replace Model DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 

NG baggage net.

0.25 work-hour × $85 per hour = $21.25 ....... $382 $403.25 $322,600 

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 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2021–09–13, which applies to certain 

ATR—GIE Avions de Transport 

Re ́gional Model ATR42–500 airplanes. 

AD 2021–09–13 requires revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 

2021–09–13, the FAA has determined 

that new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations are necessary. 

This proposed AD would revise the 

applicability by adding airplanes. This 

proposed AD would also continue to 

require the actions in AD 2021–09–13 

and require revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations, as 

specified in a European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is 

proposed for incorporation by reference. 

The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by May 23, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:
