Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17823 · Time limits
British Aerospace Regional Aircraft Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2017-19-22. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to British Aerospace Regional Aircraft Jetstream Series 3101 and Model 3201 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for British Aerospace Regional Aircraft Jetstream Series 3101 and Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes. 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 inadequate instructions for inspection for corrosion on the rudder upper hinge bracket and certain internal wing and drainage paths. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
(1) After May 27, 2014 (the effective date of this AD), except as required by paragraph (f)(2) of this AD, within the thresholds and intervals specified, incorporate into the FAA-approved maintenance program BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Jetstream Series 3100 & 3200 Corrosion Prevention and Control Programme, Manual Ref. JS/CPCP/01, Revision 6, dated November 15, 2010, in its entirety.
(2) Within 2 years after May 27, 2014 (the effective date of this AD), do the initial inspections specified in tasks 200/EX/01 C2 and 3/400/IN/01 C2 in BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Jetstream Series 3100 & 3200 Corrosion Prevention and Control Programme, Manual Ref. JS/CPCP/01, Revision 6, dated November 15, 2010.
(3) If any discrepancy, particularly corrosion, is found during any inspections or tasks required by paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD, within the compliance time specified, repair or replace, as applicable, all damaged structural parts and components and do the maintenance procedures for corrective action following BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Jetstream Series 3100 & 3200 Corrosion Prevention and Control Programme, Manual Ref. JS/CPCP/01, Revision 6, dated November 15, 2010. If no compliance time is defined, do the applicable corrective action before further flight.
(4) You may comply with the requirements of paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD by incorporating BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Jetstream Series 3100 & 3200 Corrosion Prevention and Control Programme, Manual Ref. JS/CPCP/01, Revision 6, dated November 15, 2010, into your maintenance program (instructions for continued airworthiness) and complying with that program.
