## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Avions Pierre Robin (Avions) Model R3000/160 airplanes. This action requires replacing the top bolts in the front wheel fork assembly and the top bolts attaching the front landing gear to the engine mount. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent collapse of the nose landing gear, which could result in loss of control of the airplane during taxi and landing operations.
