AD: Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-20-05

PRODUCT: All Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics Model SAAB 2000 airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments.

SUMMARY: This AD requires an inspection to identify the type of fasteners installed on the upper longerons and upper fittings of the engine mounting structure (EMS), an inspection for discrepancies of certain fasteners, and corrective action if necessary.

This AD was prompted by the discovery of blind fasteners installed in EMS upper fittings that do not meet the type design.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct discrepancies of blind fasteners that could cause crack development and vibration in the engine mount structure, which could lead to failure of the affected engine-mount-to-airplane structural connection and resultant detachment of an engine from the airplane when both sides of a nacelle are affected.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 13, 2016. Comments must be received by November 14, 2016.

FMI: AD
