Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of specified British Aerospace Jetstream Series 200, 3100 and 3200 aeroplanes fitted with the listed nose landing gear units to carry out a one‑off inspection of the steering jack for correct assembly and lubrication, using Jetstream Service Bulletin 32-JA 981043 and the APPH service newsletter. Compliance is required by 30 October 1999 (effective 17 June 1999).

The measure responds to reported cracking of the steering jack piston rod. Operators bear the cost of inspection and any remedial work; qualified maintenance staff must verify assembly and lubrication to remove conditions that increase operational loads.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 17 June 1999.

Background: Incidents have been reported where cracking has occurred at the base of the thread in the steering jack piston rod Part No. 618212. Incorrect assembly or inadequate lubrication of the steering jack pivot points can cause unusually high operational loads. This could lead to a breakdown of the steering jack piston rod. This Directive introduces a one off inspection for correct assembly and lubrication of the steering jack pivot points.
