Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10849 · Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB SF340A and SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Model SAAB SF340A series airplanes having serial numbers (S/N) -004 through -159 inclusive, and SAAB 340B series airplanes having S/N's -160 through -439 inclusive; on which SAAB Modification 2898 (reference SAAB Service Bulletin 340-32-113, dated November 14, 1997, or Revision 1, dated February 9, 1998) has been accomplished; 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 a one-time visual inspection of the main landing gear (MLG) brake assemblies to determine the brake configuration, and reconfiguration, 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 an incorrect brake combination configuration of the MLG, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane during take-off and landing.
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.
