## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Saab AB, Support and Services Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of excessive wear on certain starter generator brushes installed in the starter generator. This AD requires repetitive general visual inspections of the starter generator brushes installed in the starter generator and, depending on findings, replacement of the starter generator, and limits installation of affected generators, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
