Airworthiness Directive 00-2088
recurringAirworthiness Directives; British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4101 Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4101 airplanes, that requires manufacture and installation of a placard on the left- hand instrument panel in the cockpit to prohibit push-backs of the airplane while the engines are running. In lieu of accomplishing the placard installation, this amendment requires repetitive installation of a new tow bracket sub-assembly that has the serial number and date of installation vibro etched on it. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fatigue failure of the towing bracket. Failure of the towing bracket could cause a towing vehicle to collide into the propeller while the airplane engines are running, and consequently, cause damage to the airplane, and injure ground personnel, flight crew, or passengers.
Which aircraft AD 00-2088 applies to
applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records
Whether AD 00-2088 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
