AD 2016-10-16 was prompted by flight testing ofa developmental airplane, that concluded with the yaw damper working during the take-offroll, the Minimum Control Speed on Ground can be increased, which could result in reduced lateral control in case ofan engine failure. Paragraph (g) ofAD 2016-10-16 requires the revision ofthe normal procedures and the limitations sections ofthe Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), as applicable, to include new yaw damper procedures in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA. This letter is issued to provide an approved MOC to the required actions ofparagraph (g) in accordance with the following table:
