AD: SAAB

AD NUMBER: 2008-22-07
MANUFACTURER: SAAB
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-22-07
SUMMARY:
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above.

This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product.

The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: Subsequent to accidents involving Fuel Tank System explosions in flight * * * and on ground, * * * Special Federal Aviation Regulation 88 (SFAR 88) * * * required * * * a design review against explosion risks. * * * * * The unsafe condition is the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
