AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017–21– 

05, which applied to certain Saab AB 

Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 

340B airplanes. AD 2017–21–05 

required revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate airworthiness 

limitations, including new inspection 

tasks for the drag brace support fitting 

of the main landing gear (MLG) and 

tasks related to the corrosion prevention 

and control program (CPCP). This AD 

was prompted by a determination that 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations are necessary. This AD 

continues to require the actions in AD 

2017–21–05 and requires revising the 

existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

new or more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations, as specified in a European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 

AD, which is incorporated by reference 

(IBR). The FAA is issuing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 19, 

2025. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2017–21–05, 

Amendment 39–19076 (82 FR 48917, 

October 23, 2017) (AD 2017–21–05). AD 

2017–21–05 applied to certain Saab AB 

Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 

340B airplanes. AD 2017–21–05 

required revising the maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable, to 

incorporate airworthiness limitations, 

including new inspection tasks for the 

drag brace support fitting of the MLG 

and to implement CPCP-related tasks. 

The FAA issued AD 2017–21–05 to 

prevent reduced structural integrity of 

the airplane. 

The NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on August 12, 2024 (89 FR 

65568). The NPRM was prompted by 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
9376 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 28 / Wednesday, February 12, 2025 / Rules and Regulations 

AD 2024–0042, dated February 13, 

2024, issued by EASA, which is the 

Technical Agent for the Member States 

of the European Union (EASA AD 2024– 

0042) (also referred to as the MCAI). The 

MCAI states that new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations have been 

developed. 

In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to 

continue to require the actions required 

in AD 2017–21–05. In the NPRM, the 

FAA also proposed to require revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program, as applicable, to incorporate 

additional new or more restrictive 

airworthiness limitations, as specified 

in EASA AD 2024–0042. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to prevent reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2016. 

Discussion of Final Airworthiness 

Directive 

Comments 

The FAA received a comment from an 

individual who supported the NPRM 

without change. 

Conclusion 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA 

reviewed the relevant data, considered 

the comment received, and determined 

that air safety requires adopting this AD 

as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is 

issuing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on this product. Except for 

minor editorial changes, this AD is 

adopted as proposed in the NPRM. 

None of the changes will increase the 

economic burden on any operator. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2024– 

0042. This material specifies new or 

more restrictive airworthiness 

limitations for airplane structures and 

safe life limits. 

This AD also requires SAAB 340 

Airworthiness Limitation Manual, 

Revision 1, dated December 1, 2016, 

which the Director of the Federal 

Register approved for incorporation by 

reference as of November 27, 2017 (82 

FR 48917, October 23, 2017). 

This material is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 81 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the retained actions from 

AD 2017–21–05 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour). 

The FAA has determined that revising 

the existing maintenance or inspection 

program takes an average of 90 workhours per operator, although the agency 

recognizes that this number may vary 

from operator to operator. Since 

operators incorporate maintenance or 

inspection program changes for their 

affected fleet(s), the FAA has 

determined that a per-operator estimate 

is more accurate than a per-airplane 

estimate. 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the new actions to be 

$7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per workhour). 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

procedures in the pilot’s operating 

handbook (POH) that cannot be fully 

accomplished since certain equipment 

cannot be disconnected by the pilot(s) 

from the flight deck. This AD requires 

revising the existing POH for your 

airplane to provide the flight crew with 

corrected emergency procedures. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective March 19, 

2025. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD
