Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9755 · Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Airplanes
Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems Airplanes
This AD applies to Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems SAAB 2000.
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 is applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive visual inspections to detect whether the de-icing system boots on the horizontal stabilizer are inflating fully. It also requires modification of the stabilizer de-icing system tube as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that condensational water may collect in the de-icing system tube, freeze in low temperatures, and keep the boots from inflating fully. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such failure which, if not corrected, could keep the stabilizer de-icing system from operating properly, and consequently result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
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.
