This amendment clarifies information in an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Jetstream 4101 airplanes, that currently requires a review of maintenance records to determine the time-in-service of the bearings in the starter/generators of both engines. It also establishes a new time-in-service limit for the bearings, and requires replacement of the starter/generator unit with a serviceable unit, if necessary. The actions specified in that AD are intended to prevent failure of the bearings of the starter/ generator, which could cause severe vibrations and resultant in-flight shutdown of one or both engines. This amendment clarifies the requirements of the current AD by specifying the name of the manufacturer of the starter/generator units that are affected by the requirements of this AD.
A correction restates part of an AD that was published incorrectly. It is not an additional requirement and it does not change the AD number or its effective date.

Full official abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Jetstream Model 4101 airplanes. This action requires a review of maintenance records to determine the time-in-service (TIS) of the bearings in the starter/ generators of both engines. This action also establishes a new TIS limit for the bearings, and requires replacement of the starter/ generator unit with a serviceable unit, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports of controlled in-flight engine shutdowns resulting from failure of the bearings in the starter/generator unit. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such failure of the bearings of the starter/generator, which could cause severe vibrations and resultant in-flight shutdown of one or both engines.
