(
c o r r e c t i o n )
Amendment 39-19445; Docket No. FAA-2018-0586; Product Identifier 2017-NM-151-AD. |
TDATA NOTE: The original FAA copy has an incorrect service information
citation. The instances of Temporary Revision (TR) 54-042 were
intended to be Temporary Revision (TR) 52-042. No other part
of the AD has changed.
(a) EFFECTIVE DATE
This AD is effective November 23, 2018.
(b) AFFECTED ADS
None.
(c) APPLICABILITY
This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc., Model DHC-8-301, -311, and -315
airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 100 through
672 inclusive.
(d) SUBJECT
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 52, Doors.
(e) REASON
This AD was prompted by reports indicating that the forward right-hand
type I emergency exit door could not be opened during maintenance. An
investigation determined that the exit door handle was jammed due to
corroded center and lower shaft ball bearings. We are issuing this AD
to address corrosion of the emergency exit door ball bearings, which
could result in the inability to open the emergency exit door during
an emergency evacuation and consequently impede airplane egress.
(f) COMPLIANCE
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless
already done.
(g) REVISION OF MAINTENANCE OR INSPECTION PROGRAM
Within 60 days after November 23, 2018 (the effective date of this AD)
Revise the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incor-
porate de Havilland Inc. Dash 8 Series 300 Maintenance Task Card Task
Number 5220/12 ("Servicing of Forward RH Emergency Exit Mechanisms"),
dated March 15, 2017; and Temporary Revision 52-042, dated April 10,
2018, to the DHC-8-300 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). The initial
compliance time for doing the task is at the time specified in de
Havilland Inc. Dash 8 Series 300 Maintenance Task Card Task Number
5220/12 ("Servicing of Forward RH Emergency Exit Mechanisms"), dated
March 15, 2017, or within 60 days after November 23, 2018, whichever
occurs later.
(h) INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Within 5,000 flight hours or 36 months, whichever occurs first, after
November 23, 2018 (the effective date of this AD): Do a detailed in-
spection of all ball bearings of the forward right-hand type I emer-
gency exit for corrosion, seal damage, and loss of lubricant; replace
bearings as applicable; and apply corrosion inhibiting compound (CIC)
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Ser-
vice Bulletin 8-52-65, dated July 26, 2017. Do all applicable replace-
ments before further flight.
(i) NO ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS OR INTERVALS
After the maintenance or inspection program has been revised as
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals
are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this
AD.
