Airworthiness Directive 99-6100
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; British Aerospace 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 all British Aerospace HP137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes. This AD requires replacing the nose wheel steering jack seals with seals of an improved design. 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 the nose landing gear steering from locking up due to deterioration of the original design nose landing gear steering jack seals, which could result in reduced or loss of control of the airplane during takeoff, landing, and taxi operations.
Which aircraft AD 99-6100 applies to
applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records
Whether AD 99-6100 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.
