    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) affecting all Saab AB, Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. This directive was inspired by a safety report regarding reversed connections in the wheel speed transducers within the main landing gear, which could reduce braking capability and pose a risk during landing. The AD requires a mandatory inspection and possible correction of the anti-skid system harnesses, following procedures detailed by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This rule aims to ensure the safety of these aircraft by preventing potential damage and maintaining control during critical phases like landing.
