## Summary

This document proposes the supersedure of an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Lockheed Model 382 series airplanes, that currently requires a revision to the Airplane Flight Manual to require takeoff operation in accordance with revised performance data. This action would require installation of certain valve housings for the propeller [[Page 7481]] governor on the outboard engines. This proposal is prompted by a report of a change that had been incorporated into the propeller governor of these airplanes during production, which altered the thrust decay characteristic of the propeller when operating in an engine failure scenario. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to ensure that the airplane maintains adequate thrust decay characteristics in the event of critical engine failure during takeoff.
