BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (Jetstream) Model 4101 Airplanes
Model Jetstream 4101 airplanes, as listed in BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (Jetstream) Service Bulletin J41-32- 075, dated April 18, 2001, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (Jetstream) Model 4101 airplanes, that requires a functional test of the shortening mechanism of the nose landing gear for free movement of the capsule in the upper and lower bearings, and corrective action, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent damage to the capsule, which could result in inability to extend the nose landing gear in normal or emergency situations, and consequent injury to passengers and flight crew. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
