Airworthiness Directive 98-21992
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4100 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4100 series airplanes, that requires an eddy current conductivity test to measure the conductivity of the upper splice plate of the wing, and follow-on actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to correct corrosion of the upper splice plate of the wing, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 98-21992 applies to
certain
Whether AD 98-21992 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.
