Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10117 · Raytheon Model BAe 125-800A Series Airplanes, and Model Hawker 800 and Hawker 800XP Series Airplanes
Raytheon Model BAe 125-800A Series Airplanes, and Model Hawker 800 and Hawker 800XP Series Airplanes
Model BAe 125-800A, and Model Hawker 800 and Hawker 800XP series airplanes; on which Raytheon Modification 25F017A&B (reference Raytheon Service Bulletin SB.55-36-25F017A&B) has not been installed; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Raytheon Model BAe 125-800A series airplanes, and Model Hawker 800 and 800XP series airplanes, that requires modification of the rudder. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that, due to the existing design of the rudder, overbias or overbalance of the rudder occurs during single engine handling. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent overbias or overbalance of the rudder, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
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.
