AD 2016-20-05 Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics (Formerly Known as Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems) Airplanes
Models named: SAAB 2000. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to all Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics (formerly known as Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems) Model SAAB 2000 airplanes, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 30 days or 150 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, do a general visual inspection of the upper longerons and upper fittings of the EMS to identify the type of fasteners installed, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of SAAB 2000 Service Bulletin 2000-54-035, Revision 01, dated August 12, 2016.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the discovery of blind fasteners installed in engine mounting structure (EMS) upper fittings that do not meet the type design. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct discrepancies of blind fasteners that could cause crack development and vibration in the engine mount structure, which could lead to failure of the affected engine-mount-to-airplane structural connection and resultant detachment of an engine from the airplane when both sides of a nacelle are affected.
Affected ADs
None.
