Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to British Aerospace Jetstream Model 3201 airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the fuel quantity indication system for damage to the insulation of the wiring within the fuel tanks, and repair or replace damaged wiring. Damage is defined as corrosion (indicated by a dark stain), cuts, or nicks. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect damage to the insulation of the wiring within the fuel tanks of the fuel quantity indication system, which could result in a malfunction in the cockpit indicators and/or electrical sparking inside the fuel tank with consequent fire or explosion.
