## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA--Groupe AEROSPATIALE (SOCATA) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires modifying the oxygen generators. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the oxygen generators caused by misalignment of the firing pin, which could result in crew incapacitation and loss of the airplane.
