Airworthiness Directives; Jetstream Aircraft Limited 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) Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes that have kit JK 2496 and modification JM 7537 installed. This action requires installing magnetic latching relays on the ignition system because of the auto-ignition system becoming disabled when switching from ground power to the airplane's internal power. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of the airplane's internal power connection to the auto-ignition system, which could cause loss of engine power and possible loss of control of the airplane.

Whether AD 97-30712 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 97-30712 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.
