Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace BAe Model ATP Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain British Aerospace BAe Model ATP airplanes, that requires inspections and tests for damage of the engine power cables, and replacement of any damaged cable with a new cable. This amendment also provides for optional modification of the engine power control cable pulley assembly. This amendment is prompted by a report of failure of an engine power cable, which could cause loss of function of the power control levers on the console. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of function of the power control levers on the console, and subsequent loss of normal control of engine power.
