Abstract

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all British Aerospace (Jetstream) Model 4101 airplanes, that currently requires repetitive functional testing of the main entrance door, cleaning and lubricating of the ``speed'' lock and ``G'' lock systems, and repair, if necessary. This amendment adds a requirement for replacement of the ``G'' lock rollers with new, improved ``G'' lock rollers. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent inability of the main entrance door to open, which could delay or impede passengers from exiting the airplane, or rescue personnel from entering the airplane during an emergency.
