FAA Proposes Revised Airworthiness Directive for Jetstream Aircraft Limited Planes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a revised airworthiness directive (AD) for Jetstream Aircraft Limited HP137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes, requiring more frequent inspections of the main landing gear to prevent potential loss of control during landing operations due to cracks in the gear's pintle to cylinder interface area.
