What to do
Operators must comply with the updated maintenance tasks and component life limits as specified in the revised Aircraft Maintenance Manual from the effective date. Within six months, they must review repairs against the revised Structural Repair Manual and perform required damage tolerance inspections. Additionally, a one-off assessment of previous compliance must be completed within six months, and the approved maintenance program must be revised within twelve months to incorporate any new inspections.
Summary
The Civil Aviation Authority Airworthiness Directive G-2026-0002 is an amendment addressing time limits and maintenance checks for BAE Systems Jetstream 4100 series aeroplanes. It updates mandatory airworthiness limitations and structural repair inspections to ensure continued safe operation of these aircraft. This directive applies to all models and serial numbers of the Jetstream 4100 series.
What changed
This directive supersedes UK AD G-2024-0003 and introduces updated damage tolerance inspections for structural repairs previously lacking defined inspections. It incorporates revisions to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual and Structural Repair Manual, including new mandatory inspections and a one-off assessment of prior compliance. The directive also mandates updates to the approved maintenance program to reflect these changes.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this directive ensures that critical structural repairs and maintenance tasks are properly inspected and managed to maintain aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. Operators and maintenance organizations must update their maintenance programs and perform required inspections to avoid unsafe conditions. Compliance with these updated airworthiness limitations is essential to meet UK regulatory requirements and support ageing aircraft structural integrity.
