The specific repair must follow instructions in a technical bulletin from the manufacturer (BAe Alert Service Bulletin 31-A-JA921050, dated 26 October 1992).\n\n**Why it matters:**\nAn investigation found that if this particular flight data recorder failed internally, the warning light on the cockpit instrument panel wouldn't alert the pilots. This is dangerous because crews need to know immediately if their black box stops working — without that warning, they might fly unaware that critical flight data isn't being recorded.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nAnyone operating British Aerospace 3200 (Jetstream) series aircraft equipped with this specific Fairchild recorder model.\n\n**The deadline:**\nThe fix had to be completed before 1 April 1993.\n\n**Key point:** This directive references a UK aviation safety notice (CAA AD 007-10-92), showing how Australia often adopts or mirrors safety directives from other aviation authorities."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-jetstream-56-fairchild-type-1000-flight-data-recorder","history":"/api/acts/ad-jetstream-56-fairchild-type-1000-flight-data-recorder/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-jetstream-56-fairchild-type-1000-flight-data-recorder/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-jetstream-56-fairchild-type-1000-flight-data-recorder/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-jetstream-56-fairchild-type-1000-flight-data-recorder/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-jetstream-56-fairchild-type-1000-flight-data-recorder/documents"}}
