AD/DHC-8/19 Brake Pressure Line 7/92
Applicability: Model DHC-8 series 100 and 300 aircraft with S/No 3 through 321. Requirement: Action in accordance with the technical requirements of Transport Canada
Airworthiness Directive CF-92-09.
Note: de Havilland SB No 8-29-21 refers.
Compliance: As specified in the requirement document with revised effective date 30 June 1992.
