Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10778 · Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-10-09. Comply with the one in force.
Model SAAB SF340A series airplanes, manufacturer's serial numbers 004 through 159 inclusive; and SAAB 340B series airplanes, manufacturer's serial numbers 160 through 399 inclusive; 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 repetitive detailed visual inspections of the windshield wiper assembly for discrepant conditions, and corrective actions, 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 failure of the windshield wiper assembly, which could result in loss of visibility; or damage to the propeller(s), possible penetration of the fuselage skin, and consequent depressurization 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.
