Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10241 · British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4101 Airplanes
British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4101 Airplanes
Jetstream Model 4101 airplanes, constructors numbers 41005 through 41069 inclusive, and 41071 through 41078 inclusive; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4101 airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection of the tailplane (horizontal stabilizer) leading edges and surrounding area for discrepancies, and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent separation of the horizontal stabilizer from the fin, which could lead to reduced controllability of the airplane.
