## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Textron Aviation Inc. Model 390 airplanes (type certificate previously held by Beechcraft Corporation). This proposed AD was prompted by reports of hydraulic fluid loss from the engine driven pumps (EDPs) on three different airplanes. This proposed AD would require an inspection to determine if an affected EDP is installed with replacement as necessary. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
