Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10661 · Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Model SAAB SF340A and Model SAAB 340B series airplanes, as listed in SAAB Service Bulletin 340-30-073, dated August 18, 1997; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B series airplanes, that requires modification of the detachable center inlet component of the air intake system of the engine. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fuel and/or oil that may be present in the nacelle from entering the air intake system of the engine, which could result in a possible engine fire.
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.
