Airworthiness Directives; Jetstream Model 4101 Airplanes

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Jetstream Model 4101 airplanes. This proposal would require replacement of the flexible cables of the power and condition controls of the engines with new flexible cables. The proposal would also require installation of protective tape on the outside case of these flexible cables, and reidentification of the cables. This proposal is prompted by reports of stiff operation of the power and condition controls of the engines due to heat damage to and moisture contamination of the flexible cable. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent heat damage and moisture contamination to the flexible cable, which could result in stiff operation of the power and condition controls and subsequent reduced engine control.
