Airworthiness Directive 95-2404
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Jetstream Aircraft Limited (formerly British Aerospace, Regional Airlines Limited) HP137 Mk1, Jetstream Series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Jetstream Aircraft Limited (JAL) HP137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes. This action requires repetitively inspecting the left and right pilot windscreens for poly vinyl butyrate (PVB) interlayer cracks, and replacing any windscreen that has a crack exceeding certain limits. Several reports of PVB interlayer cracking of pilot windscreens on the affected airplanes prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such windscreen cracking, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in decompression injuries.
Which aircraft AD 95-2404 applies to
Whether AD 95-2404 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.
