Models named: DHC-8-400, -401, -402. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400, -401 and -402 airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers 4001, and 4003 through 4325 inclusive.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 100 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, inspect the left and right MLG retract actuator rod ends to determine if part number (P/N) P3A2750 or P3A2750-1 is installed. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the part number can be conclusively determined from that review.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of cracked main landing gear (MLG) retract actuator rod ends. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the left and right MLG retract actuator rod ends, which could lead to left or right MLG collapse.

Affected ADs

None.
