The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Within one month after the effective date of this AD, unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Identify ailerons that have been balanced after July 4, 2005. If balanced incorrectly, they must be rebalanced before further flight in accordance with Saab Service Bulletin 2000-57-040, dated February 23, 2006.
(2) As of the effective date of this AD, the aileron balancing procedure contained in the CD/DVD “Issue Date: Apr 01/05” including the Saab SAAB 2000 SRM at Revision 21 and the CD/DVD “Issue Date: Oct 01/05” including SRM at Revision 22 may not be used.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.
