(e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a jamming failure of the main door lock sensor. This jamming could result in a false indication of a locked door, even when it is only latched, resulting in a dormant system failure and lack of cockpit indication of the door not locked condition. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in a door opening in flight due to an operational failure. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Requirements Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) AD 2024-08-02, effective August 23, 2024 (ANAC AD 2024-08-02).
