What to do
Operators of SAAB 2000 aeroplanes must replace components before exceeding their life limits and perform all applicable maintenance tasks within specified intervals as outlined in the updated ALM Revision 2. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date, 8 June 2021, to incorporate the new limitations and tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within the specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is specified.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2021-0132 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all SAAB 2000 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the updated SAAB 2000 Airworthiness Limitation Manual Revision 2 to ensure continued airworthiness through maintenance tasks and life limits. This directive replaces previous requirements and introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations.
What changed
EASA AD 2021-0132 supersedes the earlier AD 2019-0263 and introduces updated airworthiness limitations based on SAAB 2000 ALM Revision 2. The main changes include amended fatigue lives for various parts and new or more restrictive maintenance tasks and intervals compared to the previous revision. Operators must now comply with these updated tasks and life limits to maintain airworthiness.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures the safe operation of SAAB 2000 aircraft by enforcing updated maintenance requirements that address potential fatigue and safety risks. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must update their maintenance programs to reflect these changes to avoid unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. Failure to comply could lead to unsafe aircraft conditions and regulatory penalties.
