Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of Bombardier (De Havilland) DHC‑8 Series 100 aeroplanes (serial numbers 1–126) to inspect and, if needed, correct the elevator control quadrant lever installation in accordance with Boeing Canada de Havilland Service Bulletin A8‑27‑45 Rev A. CASA requires compliance within 50 flight‑hours after 2 April 1992 because an incorrectly installed lever can permanently deform the push‑rod and may lead to loss of elevator control.
