Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11046 · British Aerospace Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 Airplanes
British Aerospace Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 Airplanes
The following aircraft, certificated in any category: --Jetstream Model 3101 airplanes, all serial numbers, that have Jetstream Kit JK12097 or Jetstream Service Bulletin 32-JK12097 incorporated; and --Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes, all serial numbers, that are equipped with Dunlop AH54450 brake units.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies all British Aerospace Jetstream Model 3101 airplanes that have a certain wheel assembly incorporated and all Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes that are equipped with Dunlop AH54450 brake units. This AD requires inspecting the main landing gear brake units for correct setting of the wear indicator pins, and re-setting the pins if incorrect. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the main landing gear brakes because the wear indicator pins present a false indication of the remaining wear of the brake units, which could result in loss of control of the airplane during takeoff, landing, or taxi operations.
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.
