AD 95-26-17 61 FR 5277

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain de Havilland Model DHC-8-301, -311, and -315 series airplanes. This action requires modification of the airspeed limitations placard and revision of the Airplane Flight Manual to specify operating at lower airspeeds at full flaps. This action also provides for the termination of the requirements of this AD for certain airplanes. This amendment is prompted by a report that incorrect rivets were installed on the outboard flaps assemblies of these airplanes. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent structural failure of the outboard flaps of the wings due to the installation of incorrect rivets in the flap assemblies, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
