Summary
Superseding AD No. 2023-08-03R01, this revision requires inspection and replacement of the cockpit side window on both sides of the airplane. The AD clarifies actions needed to be taken for damage found other than cracks. The required actions stem from reports of premature cracks in the outer layer of windows with P/N NP200402-7 or P/N NP-200402-8 caused by interference due to manufacturing tolerances. These cracks, if undetected, may subject the inner layer to unpredicted loads for several flights, which could lead to window failure and subsequent in-flight depressurization.
