AD: Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-13-14

PRODUCT: Certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: This AD requires an inspection to determine if certain left and right main landing gear (MLG) retract actuator rod ends are installed and repetitive liquid penetrant inspections (LPIs) of affected left and right MLG retract actuator rod ends, and corrective actions if necessary.

This AD also provides optional terminating action for the inspections.

This AD was prompted by a report of cracked MLG retract actuator rod ends.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the left and right MLG retract actuator rod ends, which could lead to left or right MLG collapse.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 20, 2016. Comments must be received by August 19, 2016

FMI: AD
