Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA--Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires modifying the airplane's left-hand (LH) front side lower panel. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent interference between the side trim of the LH front side lower panel and the roll control compass on the LH wheel assembly, which could result in loss of directional control of the airplane.
