The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive for Saab AB Model SAAB 2000 airplanes, following a report of the main landing gear collapsing after landing. This would require modifying the hydraulic transfer valve to prevent further unsafe conditions that could lead to severe damage or injury. The proposed rule is based on a directive from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and aims to ensure the aircraft's safe operation. Interested parties have until April 12, 2021, to submit comments on the proposed rule.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure that all Saab 2000 airplanes are safe by fixing a part that helps the plane's big wheels go up and down so that they don't break when the plane lands. People can suggest ideas about this plan until April 12, 2021.
