AD 95-12-06 60 FR 29979

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Jetstream Aircraft Limited (JAL) Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes. The action requires modifying the shear fitting at the top of each escape hatch. A report of interference between the shear fitting on an escape hatch and a ceiling panel found while removing the escape hatch on one of the affected airplanes prompted this AD. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the inability to utilize an escape hatch during an emergency situation because of interference.
