## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires testing of certain components of the emergency pitch trim system (EPTS), and corrective action, if necessary. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent faulty activation of the emergency pitch trim actuator (EPTA), which could cause damage to the elevator front spar, resulting in reduced structural integrity of the elevator and a non-functioning EPTS. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
