(e) Reason This AD was prompted by a report that certain parts of the aft baggage door did not conform to the design specifications and were of degraded strength. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking and deformations of stop fittings and striker plates, which could result in the opening of the aft baggage bay door and rapid decompression or reduced controllability of the airplane.

(g) Inspections of the Aft Baggage Bay Door Stop Fittings and Striker Plates Within 600 flight hours or 6 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first: Do a detailed visual inspection for cracking and deformations of the stop fittings and striker plates of the aft baggage bay door, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-52-037, Revision B, dated September 16, 2013. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 2,000 flight hours or 12 months, whichever occurs first, until the terminating action specified in paragraph (h) of this AD has been accomplished. If a crack or deformation is found on a stop fitting or striker plate, before further flight, replace the affected fittings and striker plates, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-52-037, Revision B, dated September 16, 2013.
