Summary
Requires revising the airplane flight manual's limitations and normal procedures sections to incorporate new operational airspeed limitations, as well as flight control limitations and approach procedures, when the angle of attack (AOA) limiter protection is engaged. It also requires inspecting records for instances of AOA limiter engagement during a certain phase of flight and reporting findings to the FAA. Prompted by a report of a hard landing event with substantial damage to the airplane when the AOA limiter was engaged during the final approach phase in unstable air conditions and remained engaged until the airplane touched down on the runway.
