## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA-Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires replacing the starter generator mounting adapter with a part of improved design. 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 loss of the starter generator caused by failure of the starter generator mounting adapter, which could result in loss of electrical power.
