Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

The directive requires operators of certain BAe Jetstream 3100 aeroplanes to replace specified Leland ASH 674-3/674-33 static inverters by set deadlines tied to each inverter’s hours-in-service, performing the work per BAe Jetstream ASB 24-A-JA880640. It was issued after in‑flight inverter overheating/smoke reports and imposes direct cost, scheduling and record‑keeping burdens on affected operators.
