Airworthiness Directives; Jetstream Model HS 748 Series 2A and 2B Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Jetstream Model HS 748 Series 2A and 2B airplanes. This action requires repetitive replacement of the structurally significant items (SSI) on the nose landing gear (NLG) and main landing gear (MLG) with serviceable SSI's. This amendment is prompted by fatigue testing which revealed that the SSI's on the NLG and the MLG have a limited service life. The actions specified in this AD are intended to ensure the replacement of the SSI's that have reached the maximum life limit; SSI's that are not replaced could fail and lead to the failure of the NLG and MLG during taxi, take-off, or landing.
