This AD applies to all Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B (including Variant 340B (WT)) series airplanes, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, unless already done, revise the Limitations and Performance sections in the applicable AFM specified in Table 1 of this AD by incorporating the information in the applicable revision specified in Table 1.
| AFM | Document No. | Revision level | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAAB SF340A | AFM 340 A 001 | 51 | November 30, 2007. |
| SAAB 340B | 72LKS5968 | 21 | November 30, 2007. |
| SAAB 340B | AFM 340 B 001 | 29 | November 30, 2007. |
Note 1: The action required by paragraph (f) of this AD may be done by inserting into the appropriate AFM sections a copy of the applicable revision listed in Table 1 of this AD. When this revision has been included in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in the revision listed in Table 1 of this AD.
Note 2: The AFM areas affected by this AD are: (1) Definition of icing conditions; (2) Operation in icing conditions; (3) Minimum airspeeds in icing conditions; (4) Auto pilot mode in icing conditions; and (5) Landing field length charts, including effect of V REF speed increment.
For Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B airplanes: Accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (f) of this AD terminates the actions required by paragraph (a)(3) of AD 96-01-04 R1 and paragraph (a) of AD 99-19-14.
Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.
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.
