What to do
Operators of Jetstream 3200 aircraft modified with SB 05-JM8229 must perform all maintenance tasks specified in SSID Revision 2 within the prescribed thresholds and intervals starting from 26 April 2022. Any discrepancies found during inspections must be corrected before further flight using approved instructions. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised to incorporate these requirements within 12 months of the effective date.
Summary
UK Civil Aviation Authority Airworthiness Directive G-2022-0008 addresses the Jetstream 3200 aeroplanes modified in service with BAE Systems Service Bulletin 05-JM8229. It mandates compliance with the Jetstream 3200 Supplemental Structural Inspection Document (SSID) Revision 2, which includes updated maintenance tasks and an extended airframe fatigue life limit of 67,000 landings. This directive applies to all Jetstream 3200 models and serial numbers that have entered the Life Extension Programme (LEP).
What changed
This Airworthiness Directive supersedes EASA AD 2015-0063 and introduces mandatory compliance with the updated SSID Revision 2, which incorporates more restrictive inspection requirements and maintenance tasks. It formalizes the extended fatigue life limit from 45,000 to 67,000 landings for Jetstream 3200 aircraft that have adopted the LEP through SB 05-JM8229. Additionally, it requires operators to revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme to include these new tasks and limitations.
Why it matters
This directive ensures the continued airworthiness and safety of Jetstream 3200 aircraft operating under the extended fatigue life program by enforcing updated inspection and maintenance requirements. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to prevent unsafe conditions caused by fatigue-related structural issues. Compliance with this AD is critical to maintain regulatory approval and avoid operational disruptions.
