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 DAI Model DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 NG airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 13, 2026 (91 FR 26952). The NPRM was prompted by Transport Canada AD CF–2025–30, dated June 23, 2025 (referred to as the MCAI), issued by Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada. The MCAI states that there have been several reports of passenger door separation. DAI attributed the root cause of certain instances to the passenger door not being properly latched and subsequent attempts to latch the passenger door in flight. DAI was unable to find a definitive root cause of the remaining occurrences. Passenger door separation, if not addressed, could result in damage to the airplane structure and lead to loss of control of the airplane and injury to persons on the ground. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the existing AFM to provide the flight crew with revised operating limitations, emergency procedures, and normal operating procedures; inspecting the passenger door latching mechanism and safety hook mechanism areas and performing corrective action, as applicable; inspecting the safety hook, latching bolts, front and rear door guide blocks, canopy and passenger door warning light, carbon hinges, tension spring, retaining block, safety hook push button, latching mechanism spring, gas spring, and door frame; measuring the passenger door handle actuation force; modifying the airplane with placards; replacing the gas spring; and replacing the hook assembly, retaining block, door guide blocks, and door sealant if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA–2026–4633. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received comments from four individual commenters. Three commenters requested that the FAA revise the applicability of the proposed AD, and one commenter requested a change concerning the service information specified in the proposed AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA’s response to each comment. Request To Limit Applicability Three individual commenters requested that the FAA revise the applicability of the proposed AD to exclude newer serial-numbered airplanes. The commenters stated that the unsafe condition resulted from early generation door locking architectures and that newer airplanes are equipped with a secondary safety latch that completely eliminates the unsafe condition. The commenters stated that applying the AD to all Model DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 NG airplanes would impose unnecessary maintenance requirements on airplanes already equipped with this safety mechanism. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:46 Oct 30, 2026 Jkt 271001 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\02NOR1.SGM 02NOR1 lotter on DSK8BHNXB4PROD with RULES1 68874 Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 210 / Monday, November 2, 2026 / Rules and Regulations The FAA disagrees with the request. According to DAI, there are two configurations of the door handle, an older and a newer configuration, and both configurations include a red safety hook. However, the red safety hook was not designed to hold the door closed during takeoff and, therefore, does not completely eliminate the unsafe condition. The FAA, in working with Transport Canada and DAI, has determined that the secondary safety latch does not resolve the unsafe condition and that the unsafe condition is not limited to older serial-numbered airplanes. The Model DA 40 NG is the latest model, and it has experienced several occurrences of door separation. Therefore, the FAA did not change this AD as a result of these comments. Request To Allow Later Revisions of Service Information An individual commenter requested that the FAA revise the proposed AD to allow the use of later revisions of the service information, rather than specifying the individual revisions of the service information for which credit would be provided. The commenter stated that allowing later revisions would permit the manufacturer to incorporate improvements into the service information without requiring owners to repeat an inspection unnecessarily. The FAA disagrees with the request to allow credit for later revision of the service material because referring to documents that do not exist at the time the AD is published violates Office of the Federal Register (OFR) regulations regarding approval of materials ‘‘incorporated by reference’’ in rules. These OFR regulations require that either the service document be submitted for approval by the OFR as ‘‘referenced’’ material, in which case it may be simply called out in the text of an AD, or the service document contents be published as part of the actual AD language. An AD may reference only the specific service document that was submitted and approved by the OFR for ‘‘incorporation by reference.’’ In order for operators to use later revisions of the referenced document (issued after the publication of the AD), either the FAA must revise the AD to reference the specific later revisions, or operators must request the approval of their use as an alternative method of compliance (under the provisions of paragraph (l) of this AD). Therefore, the FAA did not change this AD as a result of this comment. Conclusion These products have been approved by the civil 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, that authority has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments received, 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. Except for minor editorial changes, and any other changes described previously, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator. Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed Diamond Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB 40– 103/MSB F4–042/MSB D4–114/MSB 40NG–084 REV. 2, dated June 5, 2025 (issued as one document), published with Diamond Aircraft Work Instruction WI–MSB 40–103/WI–MSB F4–042/WI– MSB D4–114/WI–MSB 40NG–084 REV. 2, dated June 5, 2025 (issued as one document). This material specifies procedures for inspecting the passenger door latching mechanism and safety hook mechanism areas and performing corrective action, as applicable; inspecting the safety hook, latching bolts, front and rear door guide blocks, canopy and passenger door warning light, carbon hinges, tension spring, retaining block, safety hook push button, latching mechanism spring, gas spring, and door frame; measuring the passenger door handle actuation force; modifying the airplane with placards; replacing the gas spring; and replacing the hook assembly, retaining block, door guide blocks, and door sealant if necessary for Model DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 NG airplanes. The FAA also reviewed Diamond Aircraft DA 40 AFM Doc. No. 6.01.01– E Temporary Revision TR–MAM–40– 1203, Door Latching and Locking, dated December 16, 2024; Diamond Aircraft DA 40 F AFM Doc. No. 6.01.02–E Temporary Revision TR–MAM–40– 1203, Door Latching and Locking, dated December 16, 2024; and Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG AFM Doc. No. 6.01.15–E Temporary Revision TR– MAM–40–1203/a, Door Latching and Locking, dated February 18, 2025. This material specifies procedures for amending the AFM by revising the operating limitations, emergency procedures, and normal operating procedures related to door latching and locking for Model DA 40, DA 40 F, and DA 40 NG airplanes. This material 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 AD, the MCAI, and the Referenced Material The MCAI applies to DAI Model DA 40 D airplanes, but this AD does not include this model because it does not have an FAA type certificate. The service bulletin referred to in the MCAI specifies to contact DAI for repair instructions, but this AD requires contacting the Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA; Transport Canada; or DAI’s Transport Canada Design Organization Approval (DOA) instead. The material referenced above specifies recording any findings in the execution report and submitting the execution report to DAI, but this AD does not include that requirement. Interim Action The FAA considers this AD an interim action. This unsafe condition is still under investigation by the manufacturer and, depending on the results of that investigation, the FAA may consider further rulemaking action. Costs of Compliance The FAA estimates that this AD affects 987 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD: E STIMATED C OSTS Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators AFM revision ..................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ........ $0 $85 .................................... $83,895. Initial inspection ................ 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ..... 76 $331 .................................. $326,697.

The FAA estimates the following costs to do any replacements that would be required based on the results of the inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of airplanes that might need these replacements: O N -C ONDITION C OSTS Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Gas spring replacement ............................................... 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ........................... $489 $659 Hook assembly replacement ........................................ 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ........................... 484 824 Retaining block replacement ........................................ 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............................... 166 251 Door guide block replacement ..................................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............................... 206 291 Door sealant replacement ............................................ 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............................... 15 100 The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate. According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators. 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.
