Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9727 · 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 installation of an automatic flight idle stop on the control quadrant in the flight compartment. This amendment is prompted by several reports of one or both power levers being moved aft of the flight idle stop on approach. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such movement of the power lever(s) during flight, which could result in the loss of power to one or both engines, as well as severe engine damage.
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.
