AD 2007-10-16 Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace Regional Aircraft Jetstream Model 3201 Airplanes

Models named: 3201. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

This AD applies to Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

Within the next 60 days after June 22, 2007 (the effective date of this AD) do the following, unless already done: (1) Incorporate the information referenced below from Aircraft Maintenance Manual 05-10-05 001—AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS—DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION—BAe Jetstream 32, dated January 11, 2006, for Recurring Mandatory Inspections and Maintenance Actions into the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or other FAA-approved maintenance document. You may use a later European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)-approved revision that incorporates these same life limits.   Table number in document Affected areas AD applies (i) Table No. 1 Wing, Fuselage, Fin, Tailplane, Engine mounting, Flap system Yes. (ii) Table No. 2 Electrical Power (all Items) No. (iii) Table No. 3 Rudder pedal/brake master cylinder attachment brackets Yes. (iv) Table No. 3 Gust lock system No. (v) Table No. 4 and Table No. 5 Ice and rain protection (all items) No. (vi) Table No. 6 and Table No. 7 Landing gear (all items) Yes. (vii) Table No. 8 Lighting (all items) No. (viii) Table No. 9 Doors (all items) Yes. (ix) Table No. 10 Fuselage (all items) Yes. (x) Table No. 11 Stabilizers (all items) Yes. (xi) Table No. 12 Wings (all items) Yes. (2) The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may do the actions of this AD. Make an entry into the aircraft records showing compliance with this AD in accordance with section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9). FAA AD Differences Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: (1) The MCAI requires you to comply with a version of a maintenance manual that changes life limits. The FAA requires such changes through a change to the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or other FAA-approved maintenance document, and the FAA is mandating this through this AD. (2) We added information in paragraph (f) that allows the owner/operator to insert this information into the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or other FAA-approved maintenance document. Without this information, a licensed mechanic would be required to do the action. Other FAA AD Provisions (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD: (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Staff, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Taylor Martin, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 329-4138; fax: (816) 329-4090. Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO. (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority (or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product is airworthy before it is returned to service. (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-0056.
