Models named: CN-235, CN-235-100, CN-235-200, CN-235-300, C-295. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to the Airbus Defense and Space S.A. airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers. (1) Model CN-235, CN-235-100, CN-235-200, and CN-235-300 airplanes. (2) Model C-295 airplanes.

Compliance

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

Required actions

For the purpose of this AD, an affected NLG door mechanism actuator shaft assembly has part number (P/N) 35-42311-00 or P/N 95-42315-00, depending on airplane model.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports that cracks were found on the door mechanism actuator shaft assemblies of the nose landing gear (NLG). We are issuing this AD to address such cracking, which could lead to an in-flight NLG door opening and possibly result in detachment of the affected door, and consequent damage to, or reduced control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
