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 replacement of the main landing gear (MLG) trunnion fittings with reinforced trunnion fittings. This proposal is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent collapse of the MLG due to fatigue cracking of the MLG trunnion fittings.
