Airworthiness Directives; Beech Model BAe 125-1000A and Hawker 1000 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Beech Model BAe 125-1000A and Hawker 1000 series airplanes, that requires a detailed visual inspection to detect chafing damage to the hydraulic pipes adjacent to the hydraulic module, and various follow-on actions. This amendment is prompted by reports of chafing damage between hydraulic pipes at three locations in the rear equipment bay adjacent to the hydraulic module. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such chafing damage to the hydraulic pipe and subsequent hydraulic fluid leakage, which could lead to failure of essential airplane systems.

Extracted text begins at the standard 'preceding applicability provision' boilerplate; the AD's actual airplane model/serial list precedes this excerpt and was not captured by extraction. Requires inspection for hydraulic pipe chafing aft of frame 21 near the hydraulic module, and pipe replacement/clearance adjustment as needed, per Hawker Service Bulletin SB.29-95 dated March 24, 1995; oversight by FAA Transport Airplane Directorate indicates a transport-category airplane.

Whether AD 96-7960 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 96-7960 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
