Applicability:

SAAB 340 aircraft.

Requirement:

1. Determine the applicability of the Swedish Airworthiness Directives (SAD) listed in Table 1.

2. If it is determined that an SAD listed in Table 1 is applicable and has not been previously accomplished, perform the actions required by that SAD or later EASA-approved revision.

Service Bulletins approved by EASA as Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) to the SADs listed in Table 1 are considered acceptable for compliance with the equivalent requirements of this Airworthiness Directive.

CASA has determined that these SADs may be applicable to some Australian aircraft. This Airworthiness Directive is issued to ensure compliance with all State of Design ADs.CASA appreciates that, due to date of aircraft manufacture or aircraft configuration and modification status, some of the SADs listed in Table 1 will not be applicable to any aircraft presently registered in Australia. |\n\n![](image.001.png) \nMike Higgins \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n2 August 2010","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/SF340/111","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/SF340/111","content":"## AD/SF340/111","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"State of Design Airworthiness Directives","sectionType":"part","heading":"State of Design Airworthiness Directives","content":"## State of Design Airworthiness Directives","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"16/2010","sectionType":"part","heading":"16/2010","content":"## 16/2010","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This AD maintains its original scope as a State of Design Airworthiness Directive.
