AD: Bombardier

AD NUMBER: 2007-12-01
MANUFACTURER: Bombardier
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-12-01
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-00, DHC-8-200, and DHC-8-300 series airplanes.

This AD requires, for certain airplanes, modification of the upper bearing of the main landing gear (MLG) shock strut. This AD also requires, for certain airplanes, revising the de Havilland DHC-8 Maintenance Program Manual to include the MLG shock strut servicing task.

This AD results from reports of over-extension of the MLG shock strut piston, which allows the torque links to go over-center and rest on the piston.

We are issuing this AD to prevent loss in shock absorption during touchdown and failure of the shock strut housing, which could result in a subsequent loss of directional control.
