Airworthiness Directives; Saab Model SAAB 2000 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires 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 amendment 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 this 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.
