Airworthiness Directive 2022-14-08
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-16- 06, which applied to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. AD 2008-16-06 required the installation of additional bonding leads, inspection of existing bonding leads for defects, inspection of fuel system pipe runs in the wings to ensure appropriate clearances are maintained, and corrective actions. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2008-16-06, and adds a requirement to install additional bonding leads around the crossfeed valve and accomplish a resistance check. This AD was prompted by a report that there is insufficient bonding of the crossfeed valve in the fuel tank area. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2022-14-08 applies to
Applies to Model 4101 airplanes, all serial numbers.
Whether AD 2022-14-08 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.
