Summary
This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Jetstream Model ATP airplanes. This proposal would require inspections and tests for damage of the engine power cables, and replacement of any damaged cable with a new cable. This proposal 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 the proposed AD are intended to prevent loss of function of the levers on the console and subsequent loss of normal control of engine power.
