Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Jetstream Aircraft Limited (JAL) HP137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the main landing gear (MLG) pintle to cylinder interface area for cracks, and replacing any MLG cylinder where a crack of any length is found in the MLG pintle to cylinder interface area. This AD results from reports of MLG cracks in the area of the pintle to cylinder interface on three of the affected airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the MLG caused by cracks in the pintle to cylinder interface area, which could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
