Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17512 · Equipment/furnishings
Learjet Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Learjet Model 45 airplanes, certificated in any category; serial numbers 45-002 through 45-380 inclusive, 45-382 through 45-396 inclusive, 45-398 through 45-405 inclusive, 45-2001 through 45-2114 inclusive, 45-2116, 45-2118, 45-2120, 45-2122, and 45-2124 through 45-2126 inclusive.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Learjet Inc. Model 45 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that the fire barrier seal on the external baggage door does not seal the surrounding door structure due to incorrect positioning of the barrier. This AD requires modifying the fire seal on the baggage door, including doing inspections of the fire seal for correct contact and corrective action if necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent improper sealing of the baggage door, which could increase the risk of an uncontained fire in the baggage compartment.
Within 300 flight hours after the effective date of this AD: Modify the fire seal on the baggage door, including doing general visual inspections of the fire seal for correct contact and all applicable corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Recommended Service Bulletin 40-25-25 or Bombardier Recommended Service Bulletin 45-25-35, both Revision 3, both dated February 6, 2012, as applicable. Do all applicable corrective actions before further flight.
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.
