Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace BAe Model ATP Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all British Aerospace BAe Model ATP airplanes, that requires repetitive tests for the serviceability of the nose landing gear compensator; and corrective action, if necessary. 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 a nose wheel shimmy, which could lead to the collapse of the nose landing gear during landing.
