Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11240 · Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes
Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, serial numbers 004 through 064 inclusive; except those airplanes on which Saab Aircraft AB Modification 6093 (reference Saab Service Bulletin 2000- 27-037, dated March 11, 1998) has been installed; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections for excessive wear of the aileron control cables, cable guides, and cable pulleys located at the rear wing spars; and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment also requires repetitive replacement of the control cables and cable guides with new or serviceable components. This amendment also provides for optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct excessive wear on the aileron control cables, cable guides, and cable pulleys located at the rear wing spars, which could result in broken aileron control cables and consequent reduced controllability 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.
