Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42-200, - 300, and -320 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary.

The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
