Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10951 · Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, serial numbers -004 through -099 inclusive; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the end-pieces of the expansion chamber attenuator (ECA) for the standby pump of the Number 2 hydraulic system with new, improved end-pieces. 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 leakage of hydraulic fluid from the Number 2 hydraulic system due to failure of the end-pieces of the ECA, which could result in loss of nose wheel steering, flap operation, normal landing gear operation, and reduced redundancy in the brake and flight controls systems.
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.
