Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of two landing incidents in which the alpha limiter engaged in the landing flare in unstable air, resulting in high rate of descent landings and damage to the airplanes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address inappropriate alpha limiter engagement during the landing flare, which can limit pilot pitch authority during a critical phase of flight near the ground, and result in a high rate of descent landing with possible consequent loss of control of the airplane on landing.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2020-05-12, Amendment 39-19860 (85 FR 14562, March 13, 2020) (AD 2020-05-12).
