Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10782 · Saab Model SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Model SAAB 340B series airplanes, manufacturer serial numbers 380 through 499 inclusive; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 340B series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection for moisture or other contamination of a certain wiring harness, electrical relay, and relay socket; a one-time inspection for electrical damage of the same electrical relay and socket; corrective actions, if necessary; and replacement of certain nut plates with new, improved parts. 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 a short circuit caused by fluid leakage, which could result in inability to retract the landing gear or require the use of emergency extension.
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.
