Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10734 · BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes
This AD applies to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Jetstream Model 4101.
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 certain British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4101 airplanes, that requires modification of the attach points of the uplock system of the nose landing gear (NLG). This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent wear of the attach points of the uplock system of the NLG; such wear could result in damage to the adjacent emergency hydraulic system, or jamming of the uplock system and consequent inability to extend and retract the NLG.
