AD: Raytheon

AD NUMBER: 2003-07-09
MANUFACTURER: Raytheon
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-07-09
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Model 390 airplanes. This AD requires you to incorporate information into the FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) that would add requirements for "Landing Performance for Operation of the Airplane with Lift Dump Inoperative." This AD is the result of two accidents on the affected airplanes where a contributing factor was the lift dump spoilers failing to deploy when commanded after the initial landing. The actions specified by this AD are intended to require the use of necessary flight information to prevent runway overruns based on insufficient aerodynamic and wheel braking if the lift dump spoilers do not operate after landing touchdown. This could result in reduced or loss of control of the airplane.
