Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This directive requires operators and maintainers of all BAe Jetstream 4100 series aircraft (and nose landing gear held as spares) to inspect the nose landing gear casing and carry out any required work following BAE Systems Mandatory Service Bulletin J41‑A32‑079 Rev 2 (or a later CAA/EASA‑approved revision). The first inspection must be done within 30 days after 20 February 2008 (unless already done) and then every 1,200 landings, because cracks have been found that could lead to structural failure.
