ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-09-03, which applied to certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 airplanes. AD 2021-09-03 required repetitive replacements of the emergency locator ( printed page 88879) transmitter (ELT) antenna and repetitive inspections of the exterior fuselage skin around the ELT antenna attachment area. This AD was prompted by a report that there was an in-service failure of an ELT antenna that occurred before the repetitive replacement interval required by AD 2021-09-03, and that a terminating action was developed. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2021-09-03 and requires replacement of the ELT antenna with a new ELT antenna, inspection of the exterior fuselage skin around the ELT antenna attachment holes, and repair if necessary; as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective December 17, 2024. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 17, 2024.
