Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Model BAe.125 Series 1000A and 1000B Airplanes and Model Hawker 1000 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Raytheon Model BAe.125 series 1000A and 1000B airplanes and Model Hawker 1000 series airplanes, that requires an inspection to determine the integrity of the duct connection on both ends of the turbine air discharge duct in the air conditioning system; an inspection to measure the bead height on the ends of the turbine air discharge duct; and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that the turbine air discharge duct disconnected from the cold air unit (CAU) or water separator due to insufficient bead height on the ends of the turbine air discharge duct. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such disconnection from the CAU or water separator, which could result in cabin depressurization.
