## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time inspection of the hydraulic tubes and electrical harness wires of the wing rear access door for chafing, leakage, or wear damage; repair of any discrepancy found; and modification of the wing rear access door. This proposal is prompted by reports of interference between the wing rear access door and the hydraulic tubes and electrical harnesses, and chafing damage to the hydraulic tubes. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent such interference or chafing damage, which could lead to failure of the number 2 hydraulic system or loss of certain electrical and landing systems, and resultant reduced controllability of the airplane.
