Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12290 · Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers -004 through -063, inclusive.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires testing of certain components of the emergency pitch trim system (EPTS), and corrective action, if necessary. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent faulty activation of the emergency pitch trim actuator (EPTA), which could cause damage to the elevator front spar, resulting in reduced structural integrity of the elevator and a non-functioning EPTS. 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.
