Oct 29 (Reuters) - The National Transportation Safety
Board on Wednesday issued an urgent recommendation to operators
of 10 Bombardier Learjet airplanes models to ensure
main landing gear are attached correctly.
The recommendation to the Federal Aviation Administration to
mandate compliance manufacturer service bulletins on landing
gear would cover 1,883 airplanes currently in service. The
recommendation stems from the investigation of a fatal February
10 runway incident in Scottsdale, Arizona, involving a Learjet
35A, and three prior events in which Learjet landing gear
disconnected from the airframe because a retaining bolt was not
engaged through an aft pin.
