Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This directive mandates urgent safety maintenance on specific BAe Jetstream 4100 aircraft to prevent landing gear failure.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Jetstream 4100 aircraft with constructor numbers (serial numbers) 41004 through 41100.

What must be done: Operators must follow the instructions in Jetstream Alert Service Bulletin J41-A32-061 Revision 1 (or later approved versions) regarding the landing gear drag brace spherical bearing — a critical joint in the aircraft's undercarriage.

Why it matters: The drag brace is a structural component that helps hold the landing gear in place. This directive ensures the spherical bearing within that brace maintains structural integrity, preventing potential landing gear collapse.
