Airworthiness Directive 98-31315

recurring
AD 98-31315 · 1998-11-24 · airframe

Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace HP137 Mk1, Jetstream Series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 Airplanes

What this AD requires

This action withdraws direct final rule Airworthiness Directive (AD) 98-21-16, which would have applied to all British Aerospace (BAe) HP137 Mk1, Jetstream Series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes; and would have superseded AD 98-12-23 (this AD will remain in effect, unless the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiates additional rulemaking action). AD 98-21-16 would have required repetitively replacing the windshield wiper arm, attachment bolts, and assembly; measuring the material thickness of the upper and lower toggle attachment brackets on the nose landing gear of the affected airplanes, and replacing the toggle attachment bracket lugs. Since the issuance of the direct final rule, the FAA has received a written adverse comment. Accordingly, the direct final rule is withdrawn.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records

Whether AD 98-31315 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 98-31315 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.
