                                        AD No.: 2013-0248



                                        Date: 14 October 2013

                                        Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with Regulation
                                        (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States and of the

                                    Time limits / Maintenance checks – Safe life Airworthiness
      ATA 05
                                    Limitation Items (ALS Part 1) – Amendment


     Manufacturer(s):                Airbus (formerly Airbus Industrie)

     Applicability:                 Airbus A300 aeroplanes, all certified models, all Manufacturer Serial Numbers
                                    (MSN),
                                    Airbus A300-600 aeroplanes, all certified models, all MSN,
                                    Airbus A300F4-608ST aeroplanes, all MSN,
                                    Airbus A310 aeroplanes, all certified models all MSN.

     Reason:                        The airworthiness limitations are currently distributed in the Airbus A300
                                    Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS), A300-600 ALS and A310 ALS.
                                    The instructions and airworthiness limitations applicable to the Safe Life
                                    Airworthiness Limitation Items (SL ALI) are given in Airbus A300 ALS Part 1,
                                    A300-600 ALS Part 1 and A310 ALS Part 1, which are approved by the
                                    European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
                                    The revision 01 of Airbus A300 ALS Part 1, A300-600 ALS Part 1 and A310
                                    ALS Part 1 introduces more restrictive instructions and/or airworthiness
                                    limitations. Failure to comply with the maintenance requirements contained in
                                    these revisions could constitute an unsafe condition.
                                    For the reasons described above, this AD retains the requirements of EASA AD
                                    2007-0293, which is superseded, and requires the implementation of the new
                                    or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations
                                    as specified in the Airbus A300 ALS Part 1 Revision 1, A300-600 ALS Part 1
                                    Revision 1 and A310 ALS Part 1 Revision 1, except for the A300 life limits

     Reason:                        Several operators reported cases of burning smell and/or smoke in the cockpit
                                    during cruise phase leading in some cases to diversion. Findings showed that
                                    the cause of these events is the burning of the Saint-Gobain Sully (SGS)
                                    windshield connector terminal block.
                                    This condition, if not corrected, could significantly increase the flight crew
                                    workload which would, under some flight phases and/or circumstances
                                    constitute an unsafe condition.
                                    To address this unsafe condition, Airbus published 3 different Service Bulletins
                                    (SB) and EASA issued AD 2011-0242 (later corrected) which required the
                                    identification of the installed windshields and replacement of the affected part.
                                    Since issuance of that AD, a new occurrence in service led Airbus to identify a
                                    new batch of affected parts.
                                    For the reasons described above, this AD retains the requirements of EASA AD
                                    2011-0242, which is superseded, and requires identification and replacement of
                                    the additionally identified windshields.

     Manufacturer(s):                SAAB AB, Aeronautics (formerly SAAB Aerosystems).

     Applicability:                 Model SF340A aeroplanes serial numbers (s/n) 004 through 159 inclusive, and
                                    Model 340B aeroplanes s/n 160 through 459 inclusive, except aeroplanes
                                    modified in accordance with SAAB AB modification (mod.) No. 2650 and/or
                                    mod. No.2859.
                                    Note: This AD does not apply to aeroplanes with s/n 170, 342, 362, 363, 367,
                                    372, 379, 385, 395, 405, 409, 431 and 455.

     Reason:                         A few natural stall events, specifically when operating in icing conditions, have
                                     been experienced on SAAB 340 series aeroplanes, without receiving a prior
                                     stall warning.
                                     This condition, if not corrected, could result in loss of control of the aeroplane.
                                     To address this potential unsafe condition, SAAB developed a modified stall
                                     warning system, incorporating improved stall warning logic, and issued Service
                                     Bulletin (SB) 340-27-098 and SB 340-27-099, which include instructions to
                                     replace the present Stall Warning Computer (SWC) with a new SWC, and
                                     instructions to activate the new SWC. The new system includes stall warning
                                     curves optimized for operation in icing conditions, which are activated by
                                     selection of Engine Anti-Ice.
                                     Consequently, EASA issued AD 2011-0219 to require installation of the
                                     improved SWC on Saab 340 aeroplanes.
                                     Since that AD was issued, in-service experience with the improved stall
                                     warning system revealed cases of premature stall warning activation during the

EASA AD No.: 2013-0254

                                     take-off phase. In numerous recorded cases, the onset of stall warning
                                     occurred without the 6 minute delay after weight off wheels.
                                     This condition, if not corrected, could lead to premature stick shaker activation
                                     and consequent increase in pilot workload during the take-off phase, possibly
                                     resulting in reduced control of the aeroplane.
                                     To address this potential unsafe condition, SAAB AB issued SB 340-27-116 to
                                     provide instructions for temporary deactivation of the stall warning system ice
                                     speed curves for aeroplanes modified in accordance with SAAB SB 340-27-098
                                     or SB 340-27-099. The ice speed curves are intended to activate stall warning
                                     shaker only. The trigger level for stall identification (pusher) remains
                                     unchanged.
                                     For the reasons described above, this AD partially retains the requirements of
                                     EASA AD 2011-0219, which is superseded, and requires, for aeroplanes that
                                     have already installed the new SWC, deactivation of the ice speed curves. For
                                     aeroplanes that do not yet have the new SWC installed, only the provisions for
                                     this installation must be installed.
                                     Pending the investigation to determine the reason for the too early activation,
                                     no permanent action regarding SWC replacement is defined. This AD is
                                     considered to be an interim measure and further AD action may follow.

     Effective Date:                25 October 2013

     Required Action(s)             Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously:
