## Summary

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to all British Aerospace HP137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes. The proposed AD would require inspecting the nose wheel steering system to assure that the free play between the steering handle or knob and the nose wheels is within acceptable limits, and adjusting as necessary. The proposed AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent the inability to steer the airplane because of excessive free play in the steering linkage, which could result in loss of control of the airplane during take-off, landing, or taxi operations.
