Compliance required as indicated, unless previously accomplished.

To prevent impairment of flap operation, an asymmetric flap condition, false gear warning horn signals, or incorrect biasing of the stall warning system, due to flap sector upper mount bracket failures, accomplish the following:

A. Within the next 50 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, inspect the flap sector upper mounting brackets for cracks, in accordance with instructions in Gates Learjet Corporation Airplane Modification Kit (AMK) 86-4 or 55-86-2, as applicable.

2. If cracks are not found in the flap sector upper mounting brackets, replace the brackets and install stiffeners in accordance with the applicable AMK within 100 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD.

B. If both flap sector upper mounting brackets have been previously replaced with steel brackets, compliance with this AD is not required.

C. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.

D. Alternate means of compliance with this AD, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Central Region.
