           Background: The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-01-16 which supersedes AD 86-24-11 and AD 86-25-04. The two earlier ADs required the incorporation into the Limitations Section of the pilot's operating handbook and airplane flight manual (POH/AFM) of Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 series aeroplanes, procedures for preventing an engine flameout while in icing conditions. CASA's predecessor did not issue an AD following the two earlier FAA ADs but required the insertion of Australian unique pages into the Australian
