Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10401 · Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, serial numbers -004 through -040 inclusive, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires application of sealant to the auxiliary power unit (APU) firezone bulkhead. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continued airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent hazardous amounts of flame, fuel, and vapor from entering compartments outside the fire zone due to unsealed openings in the firezone bulkhead, which could result in a fire outside the APU firezone compartment.
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.
