Airworthiness Directive 2022-12182
recurringAirworthiness Directives; British Aerospace (Operations) Limited and British Aerospace Regional Aircraft Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all British Aerospace (Operations) Limited Model Jetstream Model 3101 airplanes and British Aerospace Regional Aircraft Model Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes. This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as stress corrosion cracking of the primary flight control cable terminals. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the turnbuckle type control cable terminals in the rudder and elevator primary flight control circuits for corrosion, pitting, and cracking and, depending on the inspection results, replacing an affected cable assembly. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2022-12182 applies to
Applies to all serial numbers of the listed models.
Whether AD 2022-12182 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.
