Summary
This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Beech (Raytheon) Model BAe series 1000A and Model Hawker 1000 airplanes. This proposal would require modifications of the thrust reversers. This proposal is prompted by a review of the certification analysis of the thrust reversers and by testing of the thrust reversers, which indicated that additional design features are necessary to prevent failure of the driver link and the inadvertent deployment of a thrust reverser during flight. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent inadvertent deployment of a thrust reverser during flight, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
