Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8881 · BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes
This AD applies to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited ATP.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Jetstream Model ATP airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection and appropriate torque loading check of certain wing top surface stringer joint fasteners, and correction of discrepancies. This amendment is prompted by a report of loose fasteners on the wing top surface stringer joint bolts at Rib 0. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent reduced structural integrity of the wing top surface stringer joints at Rib 0, which subsequently could lead to reduced structural integrity of the wing.
