Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15057 · Structures
British Aerospace Regional Aircraft Jetstream Model 3201 Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2014-13-05. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Within the next 60 days after June 22, 2007 (the effective date of this AD) do the following, unless already done:
(1) Incorporate the information referenced below from Aircraft Maintenance Manual 05-10-05 001—AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS—DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION—BAe Jetstream 32, dated January 11, 2006, for Recurring Mandatory Inspections and Maintenance Actions into the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or other FAA-approved maintenance document.
You may use a later European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)-approved revision that incorporates these same life limits.
| Table number in document | Affected areas | AD applies |
|---|---|---|
| (i) Table No. 1 | Wing, Fuselage, Fin, Tailplane, Engine mounting, Flap system | Yes. |
| (ii) Table No. 2 | Electrical Power (all Items) | No. |
| (iii) Table No. 3 | Rudder pedal/brake master cylinder attachment brackets | Yes. |
| (iv) Table No. 3 | Gust lock system | No. |
| (v) Table No. 4 and Table No. 5 | Ice and rain protection (all items) | No. |
| (vi) Table No. 6 and Table No. 7 | Landing gear (all items) | Yes. |
| (vii) Table No. 8 | Lighting (all items) | No. |
| (viii) Table No. 9 | Doors (all items) | Yes. |
| (ix) Table No. 10 | Fuselage (all items) | Yes. |
| (x) Table No. 11 | Stabilizers (all items) | Yes. |
| (xi) Table No. 12 | Wings (all items) | Yes. |
(2) The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may do the actions of this AD. Make an entry into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9).
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows:
(1) The MCAI requires you to comply with a version of a maintenance manual that changes life limits. The FAA requires such changes through a change to the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or other FAA-approved maintenance document, and the FAA is mandating this through this AD.
(2) We added information in paragraph (f) that allows the owner/operator to insert this information into the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or other FAA-approved maintenance document. Without this information, a licensed mechanic would be required to do the action.
