This amendment is effective from 7 November 1996.
Background: The manufacturer has advised that power levers have been selected below the flight idle stop position whilst the aircraft was airborne. This has resulted in an aircraft accident and several other incidents of uncontrolled aircraft flight.
Amendment 1 defers the compliance date to 30 June 1997 following advice from the Swedish CAA that due to a lack of modified power quadrants compliance by 31 December 96 could not be achieved.
The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 17 May 1995.
