Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9452 · M7 Aerospace LLC Airplanes
M7 Aerospace LLC Airplanes
This AD applies to M7 Aerospace LLC SA226-AT, SA226-T, SA226-TC, SA226-T(B).
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) that applies to certain Fairchild Aircraft SA226 series airplanes that are equipped with a part number 27-55001-229 actuator assembly. This action requires replacing the main landing gear door actuator tang and associated hardware with parts of improved design. Reports of the main landing gear doors hanging up and locking the landing gear links on the affected airplanes prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the inability to extend the main landing gear because of the main landing gear door actuation roller contacting the lower edge of the tang and causing the linkage to lock over-center.
