Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This mandatory Airworthiness Directive requires operators of SAAB SF340A and SF340B aircraft to modify exit-sign and interior dome-light assemblies because backup power issues can prevent emergency lights from remaining illuminated for the required 10 minutes. Compliance follows SAAB Service Bulletin 340-33-030 Revision 2 and FAA AD 92-03-05 by 31 August 1992. The amendment allows certain aircraft to retain existing dome-light bulbs if they meet the Revision 2 conditions.
