Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain de Havilland Model DHC-8-100 series airplanes, that requires a one-time visual inspection to determine the presence of block seals on the upper portions of the cabin/baggage compartment bulkheads, and installation of a new or serviceable block seal for any missing block seal. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent smoke contamination of the passenger and crew cabins, in the event of fire or smoke in the baggage compartment, due to a direct smoke path between the baggage compartment and the cabins.
