Unsafe Condition

Fatigue cracking of the sidestay jack pivots of the main landing gear (MLG) could result in fatigue fracturing, leading to inability of the MLG to deploy and a consequent wheels-up landing.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Perform a detailed visual inspection using a 10X magnifier to detect cracking of the sidestay assembly jack pivot, following Raytheon Corporate Jets Service Bulletin SB 32-233. Replace the sidestay jack pivot assemblies with new, improved assemblies as specified.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Compliance Time

Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. The inspection must be done by the latest of: within 28 days after February 3, 1995; prior to 3,000 total landings on the sidestay assembly since new; or prior to 1,000 total landings since overhaul. Replacement must be done prior to 4,000 total landings on the jack pivot assembly since new/overhaul or within 300 landings after the AD's effective date, whichever is later.
