## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all British Aerospace BAe Model ATP airplanes. This proposal would require repetitive tests for the serviceability of the nose landing gear compensator; and corrective action, if necessary. This proposal is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent a nose wheel shimmy, which could lead to the collapse of the nose landing gear during landing.
