Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12253 · Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 Series Airplanes
Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2004-14-15. Comply with the one in force.
Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes, serial numbers 4002 and subsequent, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This action requires revising the Normal and Abnormal Sections of the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual to include procedures that enable the flightcrew to determine if the main landing gear (MLG) is extended before landing and to take appropriate actions, if necessary. The actions specified in this AD are intended to ensure that the flightcrew is advised of a potential gear-up landing due to misleading indications of the MLG extension, and has the procedures necessary to address that potential condition. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
