Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8929 · Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Airplanes
Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Airplanes
This AD applies to Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems SAAB 340B, 340A (SAAB SF340A).
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 SF340A and SAAB 340B series airplanes, that requires an inspection of the elevator and aileron coves, and further inspections and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report of delamination between the composite structure and the aluminum foil on the elevator cove on a Model SAAB SF340B series airplane. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent jamming of the aileron or elevator.
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.
