Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11997 · Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Airplanes
Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Airplanes
This AD applies to Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems SAAB 2000.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires an inspection to ensure correct installation of certain self-seal couplings in each nacelle, and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment also requires installation of a new clamp to the self-seal couplings. This action is necessary to prevent separation of the self-seal couplings, which could result in loss of engine oil pressure and a flight- crew-commanded engine shutdown. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
