Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of broken wires and corroded connectors in the SAAB 340 MLG emergency release system. We are issuing this AD to prevent improper release of the MLG during an emergency situation, possibly resulting in damage to the airplane during landing and injury to the occupants.

Affected ADs

This AD supersedes AD 2004-12-03, Amendment 39-13662 (69 FR 35235, June 24, 2004).
