Airworthiness Directives; Fairchild Aircraft SA226 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Fairchild Aircraft SA226 series airplanes. This action requires removing the main landing gear (MLG) stop bolts from the bracket assembly on the upper scissors for those airplanes with a MLG door stop installation, and servicing the MLG oleos for all affected airplanes. Incidents where two of the affected airplanes made an emergency gear-up landing prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the MLG doors from jamming, which could prevent the gear from extending and could result in an emergency gear-up landing.

Whether AD 95-20278 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 95-20278 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
