Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD requires operators of Bombardier (de Havilland) DHC‑8 aeroplanes, serials 3–402, to replace specific door labels per the de Havilland service bulletin by 30 November 1995. It seeks to prevent passengers mistaking the passenger exit for the toilet door (and accidental depressurisation) and imposes a one‑off compliance cost and maintenance action on the affected operators.
