Raytheon Model Hawker 800A (U-125A) and Hawker 800XP Series Airplanes
Model Hawker 800XP and Hawker 800A (U-125A) series airplanes, as specified in Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 32-3274, dated August 1999; certificated in any category.
Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Raytheon Model Hawker 800A (U-125A) and Hawker 800XP series airplanes, that requires inspecting the roller clearance in the nose landing gear drag stay and making any necessary adjustments. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating multiple findings of roller clearances that are in excess of specifications. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the inability to extend the nose landing gear, which could result in damage to the airplane upon landing.
To prevent the inability to extend the nose landing gear due to excessive clearance of the roller in the drag stay rigging, which could result in damage to the airplane upon landing, accomplish the following:
(a) Within 50 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD: Remove the paint from the drag stay arm of the nose landing gear at its point of contact with the stop bolt, do a check of the roller clearances, and make any necessary adjustments, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Raytheon Aircraft Service Bulletin SB 32-3274, dated August 1999.
(b) Airplanes which have had the 600-hour inspection specified in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual before the effective date of this AD or which will have the 600-hour inspection within 50 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD are considered to be in compliance with paragraph (a) of this AD.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
