94-24-01: This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 87-04-04 and AD 89-16-02, which currently require the following on Jetstream Aircraft Limited (JAL) HP 137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes: repetitively inspecting the universal joints and universal rivets, replacing any damaged part, and limiting the in-service life of the torque tube shaft assembly. JAL has introduced an improved flap torque tube shaft assembly that includes universal joints that are not life limited. The Federal Aviation Administration's policy on aging commuter-class aircraft is to eliminate or, in certain instances, reduce the number of certain repetitive short-interval inspections when improved parts or modifications are available. This action requires installing this improved flap torque shaft assembly in place of the repetitive inspection and life limit requirements of the two existing AD's. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the flap torque assembly, which could result in asymmetric flap deployment and loss of control of the airplane.

96-16-03: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A320-200 series airplanes, that requires modification of the shock absorber sub-assembly of the main landing gear (MLG). This amendment is prompted by reports of internal damage to the shock absorber sub-assembly due to loose screws in the upper bearing dowels. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such damage, which could result in the overextension of the shock absorber and failure of the torque link. This situation may lead to the inability of the MLG to retract and subsequent collapse of the MLG.
2009-25-10: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the Sikorsky Model S-92A helicopters. This action requires a one-time visual inspection of the main gearbox (MGB) lube system filter assembly for oil filter damage. This action also requires if either the primary or secondary oil filter is damaged, replacing both filters, all packings, and the studs before further flight. This AD also requires replacing the oil filter bowl within 30 days after replacing a damaged filter and a daily leak inspection for an oil leak (no oil leaks allowed) during that 30-day interim period. This amendment is prompted by three reports of damaged oil filters or packings resulting from installing the filter assembly with an oversized packing possibly because of incorrect part numbers in the maintenance manual. Based on a previous accident investigation, failure of the oil filter bowl or mounting studs can result in sudden and complete loss of oil from the MGB. The actions specified in thisAD are intended to prevent complete loss of oil from the MGB, failure of the MGB, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
