Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Saab Model SAAB 2000 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the main landing gear (MLG) trunnion fittings with reinforced trunnion fittings. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent collapse of the MLG due to fatigue cracking of the MLG trunnion fittings.
