Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10423 · Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes having serial numbers -003 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 replacement of the main landing gear (MLG) trunnion fittings with reinforced trunnion fittings. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent collapse of the MLG due to fatigue cracking of the MLG trunnion fittings.
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.
