This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of specified British Aerospace BAe 3100 (Jetstream) aircraft (constructor numbers 601–614, 616–617) to inspect and, where directed by the manufacturer service documents, modify the nose equipment bay spine because fatigue testing found cracks near the nose‑bay door hinge areas. Compliance must follow British Aerospace Alert Service Bulletin Jetstream 53‑A‑JA850610 (and the modification kit 53‑JM5224); inspections done under the prior amendment meet the new requirement.
