Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10699 · Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, manufacturer serial numbers 004 through 050 inclusive, 052, 053, and 054; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection for cracking of the rear pressure bulkhead; and installation of a reinforcement angle on the rear pressure bulkhead; or repair, if necessary. 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 cracking of the rear pressure bulkhead, which could result in sudden loss of cabin pressure and the inability to withstand fail-safe loads.
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.
