AD 99-01-06 Amendment 39-10973

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain British Aerospace Jetstream Model 3101 airplanes. This AD requires installing a standard bonding socket that is fitted flush with the upper surface of each wing at the fueling points (Station 297). This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified in this AD are intended to correct a potentially insufficient ground contact between the refueler hose nozzle and the aircraft, which, if not corrected before the fuel cap is removed, could result in sparks with a consequent fire and/or explosion in the fuel tank.
