Airworthiness Directives; SAAB Aircraft AB (Formerly SAAB-SCANIA) Model SAAB 340B Series Airplanes
Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain SAAB Model SAAB 340B series airplanes, that requires replacement of the existing actuator assembly on the motor operated fuel valve assembly with a new, improved actuator assembly. This amendment is prompted by electromagnetic interference (EMI) tests, which indicate that the actuator assemblies of certain fuel shut-off valves may fail to function after exposure to EMI, such as lightning or high intensity radiated fields. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of function of the fuel shut-off valves, which could result in unchecked fuel leakage or fuel imbalance after fuel system failure.
