FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Jetstream Aircraft Limited Planes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive for Jetstream Aircraft Limited (JAL) HP137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes, requiring repetitive inspections of the passenger/crew cabin door handle mounting platform structure for cracks and replacing it with an improved design if found cracked. The action aims to prevent passenger injury in emergency evacuation situations due to a cracked internal handle mounting platform structure.
