Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9207 · Bombardier Inc. Airplanes
Bombardier Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Bombardier Inc. DHC-8-102, DHC-8-103, DHC-8-106, DHC-8-301, DHC-8-311.
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 de Havilland Model DHC-8-100 and -300 series airplanes, that requires an inspection to verify the integrity of the shield grounds for the cable harness of the electronic engine control (EEC), and correction of any discrepancy. This amendment also requires measurement of the electrical resistance of certain shield grounds, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report of an engine flameout after a lightning strike, due to several shields for the cable harness of the EEC not being properly grounded to the airframe. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent engine flameout due to insufficient protection of the EEC.
