What to do
Operators of Jetstream 4100 series aeroplanes must perform the specified inspection at or before 20,000 total flights if the aircraft has 18,000 flights or fewer at the directive's effective date. For aircraft exceeding 18,000 flights, the inspection must be completed within 2,000 additional flights. Any detected discrepancies require contacting BAE Systems for approved corrective instructions before further flight.
Summary
The Civil Aviation Authority Proposed Airworthiness Directive 2002 addresses inspection requirements for the passenger door inner skin, edge member, and seal carrier adjacent to roller brackets on BAE Systems Jetstream 4100 series aeroplanes. This directive applies to all models and serial numbers of the Jetstream 4100 series and mandates inspections to detect potential cracking in critical door components.
What changed
This new directive introduces a mandatory one-time non-destructive inspection based on BAE Systems ISB J41-52-065 Revision 1 to identify undetected cracking near the passenger door roller guide bracket. It makes previously recommended inspection procedures compulsory ahead of their planned inclusion in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual. The directive also requires corrective actions if discrepancies are found during inspections.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it addresses a safety concern arising from in-service cracking that could compromise door integrity. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to prevent potential unsafe conditions and ensure continued airworthiness. Compliance helps avoid unexpected failures and supports regulatory adherence.
