Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, (Formerly Known as Saab AB, Support and Services) Airplanes Federal Register ↗

Abstract

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-26- 05, which applied to all Saab AB Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. AD 2021-26- 05 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2021-26-05 and requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
