Final rule.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that the pivot door pressure seals on the thrust reverser fixed structure were found disbonded or missing on several airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the pivot door pressure seals and accomplishing applicable corrective actions. This AD also requires a functional test of the thrust reversers. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
