Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD- 500-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that some tie-rod assemblies may have been over-tightened during the installation of interior monuments (such as galleys, lavatories, and forward stowage or wardrobes). This proposed AD would require adjusting the tie-rod assemblies, as specified in a Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
