    AD No.: 2011-0100

    Date: 26 May 2011

    Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with
    Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States and
    of the European third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 66 of
    that Regulation.
    This EAD is issued in accordance with EC 1702/2003, Part 21A.3B. In accordance with EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the
    continuing airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person may operate an
    aircraft to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD, unless otherwise specified by the Agency [EC
    2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [EC 216/2008, Article 14(4) exemption].

    Type Approval Holder’s Name : Type/Model designation(s) :

    Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH DA 42 aeroplanes

    TCDS Number : EASA.A.005 and EASA.A.513

    Foreign AD : Not applicable

    Supersedure: None

    Wings – Upper Centre Wing Skin-to-Spar Adhesive Joint –


    ATA 57
    Inspection / Repair

    Manufacturers: Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH (Austria), and Diamond Aircraft Industries
    Inc. (Canada)

    Applicability: DA 42 and DA 42 NG (modified by DAI from DA 42 through DAI Optional SB


    42-068) aeroplanes, serial numbers (s/n) 42.006 through 42.007, 42.010,
    42.012 through 42.014, 42.016 through 42.033, 42.035 through 42.043,

    42.061 through 42.081, 42.083 through 42.093, 42.096 through 42.097,
    42.099 through 42.120, 42.122 through 42.125, 42.127 through 42.148,
    42.150 through 42.156, 42.158 through 42.170, 42.172 through 42.176,
    42.178, 42.179, 42.181 through 42.190, 42.192 through 42.200, 42.202
    through 42.224, 42.AC001 through 42.AC028 and 42.AC030 through
    42.AC052; and
    DA 42 M (both Normal and Restricted category, modified from DA 42 through
    DAI Optional SB 42-056) and DA 42 M-NG aeroplanes (both Normal and
    Restricted category, modified by DAI from DA 42 M through DAI Optional SB
    42-081): s/n 42.008, 42.157 and 42.191.

    Reason: During conversion of a DA 42 to a DA 42 NG, voids were detected in the


    adhesive joint between the centre wing spars and the upper centre wing skins,
    between the fuselage wall and the engine nacelle. The available information
    indicates that wings with voids continue to meet the certification design limits,
    provided the voids are within established criteria.
    However, to detect any wings that may have voids exceeding these criteria,
    Diamond has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) 42-092 and MSB
    42NG-022 (single document) that describes instructions for inspection of the

    EASA Form 110 Page 1/2


    EASA AD No : 2011-0100

    aeroplanes that had these wings installed during manufacture. Aeroplanes


    that have voids within the inspection criteria may continue to operate without
    restriction, pending the outcome of ongoing investigations. Aeroplanes that
    have voids exceeding the inspection criteria must be repaired.
    For the reasons described above, this EASA AD requires the inspection of the
    affected aeroplanes to measure the voids in the adhesive joint between the
    centre wing spars and the upper centre wing skins, the reporting of all findings
    to Diamond Aircraft Industries and the repair of any voids exceeding the
    criteria as specified in the MSB.

    Effective Date: 09 June 2011

    Required Action(s) Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously:


    and Compliance
    (1) Within the next 100 flight hours or 3 months, whichever occurs first after
    Time(s):

    centre wing spars and the upper centre wing skin in accordance with the
    instructions of Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH MSB 42-092/42NG-
    022 (the MSB) and the associated Working Instruction (WI) WI-MSB 42-
    092/42NG-022 (the WI).
    (2) Within 30 days after the inspection as required by paragraph (1) of this
    AD, report the results to Diamond Aircraft Industries in accordance with
    the instructions of the MSB and the WI.
    (3) If, during the inspection as required by paragraph (1) of this AD, voids
    are detected that exceed the criteria as specified in the WI, before next
    flight, repair the aeroplane in accordance with the instructions of Section
    III.2 of the WI, or contact Diamond Aircraft Industries for approved repair
    instructions and accomplish the repair accordingly.
    (4) For the purpose of compliance with paragraph (3) of this AD, a single
    positioning flight is allowed to a location where the repair can be
    accomplished, in accordance with the provisions as specified in Section
    III.1 of the WI.
