Reason Cracks have been reported in the Main Landing Gear on in-service aircraft. The cracks occur in the region of the pintle to cylinder interface, at the forward inboard location. This Service Bulletin (SB), at revision 5, supersedes Mandatory Alert SB 32-A- JA941245 revision 3 (Title: Landing Gear - Main Gear - Inspect Pintle to Cylinder Interface for Cracks) issued on MAR 15/96 and mandatory SB 32-JA930343 revision 3 (Title: Landing Gear - Main Gear - Inspect Pintle to Cylinder Interface for Cracks) issued on MAR 15/96. Both of these SBs gave details of NDT inspections to be accomplished within a given period of accumulated landings. The requirements of mandatory SB 32-JA930343 and mandatory alert SB 32-A- JA941245 are now incorporated into revision 5 of this SB. Inspections carried out in accordance with (i.a.w.) the above superseded SBs 32-A-JA941245 and 32-JA930343 at revision 3 may be considered as compliant with the requirements of this SB 32- C.

ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: MAKE SURE THE AIRCRAFT AND THE AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS ARE MADE SAFE AS DETAILED IN THE APPLICABLE CHAPTERS OF THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL. NOTE: In order for Jetstream aircraft to make a full assessment of this problem, it is important that operators report ALL results, including cases where no cracks are found. Please use a copy of the Operator Report Form given at Appendix 2 of this SB and report to BAE SYSTEMS, (Operations) Limited, Repair Design Office, Building 37, Prestwick International Airport, Ayrshire, KA9 2RW, SCOTLAND. Tel No. +44 (0) 1292 67 5276. Email. raengliaison@baesystems.com. NOTE: Abbreviations used in the accomplishment instructions of this SB are:- i.a.w. - in accordance with mW/cm? - milliwatts per square centimetre NDI - Non-Destructive Inspection NDT - Non-Destructive Testing SB - Service Bulletin A. Preparation (1) Gain access to the area at the intersection of the pintle and cylinder at the forward inboard location. (2) Refer to Figure 1 and remove the paint from the affected area. (3) Clean the affected area thoroughly. B. Accomplishment (1) Refer to Figure 1. Do an eddy current NDT inspection of the affected area i.a.w. Héroux Devtek SB No.32-56 revision 4. If an operator does not have access to eddy current equipment, it is permissible to do an alternative NDT inspection, with fluorescent penetrant dye, as given at Appendix 1 of this SB. NOTE: Use of the alternative dye penetrant inspection (refer to Appendix 1) may result in the detection of cracks at a later, more advanced stage. If the inspection indicates no cracks, reprotect the stripped area i.a.w. Component Maintenance Manual 32-10-1, 32-10-02 and 32-10-03. Refer to repair number 1 and repair number 3 if anodic finish is removed or damaged. Refer to repair number 3 only, if anodic finish is intact. (3) Operators may use the following materials as alternatives to those specified in the above repair number 3:- - Epoxy Primer • DMS 2144 - Top Coat DMS 2143 - Colour Code DN 3635 ORIGINAL ISSUE: MAR 15/96 32-JA960142 REVISION 5: DEC 13/19 PAGE 5 ### Page 6 (OCR) BRITISH AEROSPACE JETSTREAM SERiES 3100 & 3200 SERVICE BULLETIN NOTE 1: Temporary reprotection, using Lanolin (MIL-C-16173 Grade 4), may be applied until full surface protection can be returned at next scheduled maintenance. Tectyl 502 or Tectyl 506G may be used as an alternative to Lanolin - see Note 3 for application and use. NOTE 2: If Tectyl 502 (brush application) is used, a single coat is to be applied. If Tectyl 506G (spray application) is used, a first coat is to be applied and allowed to dry then a second coat is to be applied. NOTE 3: To avoid repeated paint stripping, high utilization operators may apply the Tectyl (not Lanolin) reprotection on a long term basis provided the protection compound is inspected at every Service Check and reapplied as necessary to make sure the unpainted area of the cylinder is completely covered at all times. (4) If the inspection indicates a crack:- (a) DO NOT FLY THE AIRCRAFT until the affected landing gear is replaced. Advise BAE SYSTEMS of the crack and complete the Operator Report Form given at Appendix 2 of this SB. (5) Aircraft records (a) Add SB No.32-JA960142 to the aircraft records. (b) Note the requirement for repeat inspections as applicable.

Component or area to be inspected (1) Non-porous light metal alloy components and structure. B. Description of possible damage Surface breaking material discontinuities, such as fatigue cracks or corrosion fissures. C. Related documents (1) J31/32 Non-destructive Inspection Manual (NDI) PART 2, 20-00-00, Penetrant, General. (2) The liquid penetrant manufacturer's product information. D. Equipment and materials (1) Any high sensitivity, fluorescent, liquid penetrant system, (Type 1 Level 3) which satisfies the requirements of this procedure may be used. The following penetrant system, dispensed from aerosol cans was used during the development of this procedure and found to be acceptable. (a) Penetrant Fluorescent: Magnaflux ZL-27A (0) Penetrant Pre-Cleaner: Magnaflux SKC-S (C) Penetrant Developer: Magnaflux SKD-S2 (a) Ultra-violet (black light) source capable of producing a minimum 1000 mW/cm? at the work surface. (e) Brushes, clean clothes and visual aids, as required. (†) Darkened viewing area maximum 10 Lux ambient light. E. Preparation for inspection (1) Aircraft:- (a) As detailed in the relevant SB or other instructions actioning this procedure. (2) Component:- (a) Make sure non-metallic surface finishes, e.g. paint, have been removed from the inspection area. NOTE 1: Non-metallic surface finishes must not be removed by abrasion or by surface blasting. Surface blasting or abrasion removal methods may impede the penetrants ability to enter into any surface breaking discontinuities. ORIGINAL ISSUE: MAR 15/96 32-JA960142 REVISION 5: DEC 13/19 PAGE 11 ### Page 12 (OCR) BRITISH AEROSPACE JETSTREAM SERiES 3100 & 3200 SERVICE BULLETIN NOTE 2: If the penetrant procedure is used to make sure the effective removal of corrosion, the effected area must be polished to a mirror like finish. (b) Make sure area to be inspected is degreased and clean. (c) Make sure the surfaces surrounding the area to be inspected are isolated (masked off), to avoid any possible penetrant contamination. F. Inspection procedure NOTE 3: If an alternative penetrant system is used, then reference must be made to the relevant manufacture's inspection procedure. (1) Using the pre-cleaner (Magnaflux SKC-S) degrease the area to be inspected. (2) Spray or brush penetrant (Magnaflux ZL-27A) on to inspection area, contact time 30 to 60 minutes. (3) Remove excess penetrant with clean cloth. (4) View surface under ultra-violet light to make sure removal of excess penetrant. (5) If necessary complete the removal using a clean cloth lightly moistened with pre- cleaner. (6) Apply a thin even coating of developer (Magnaflux SKD-S2). (7) Examine inspection area under ultra-violet light immediately after application of developer, again after 15 minutes and finally after 30 minutes. (8) Thoroughly clean inspection area. (9) Clean and restore surface protection. G. Acceptance criteria (1) Any indications that cannot be attributed to excess penetrant are to be considered discontinuities. H. Reporting, repair/rectification (1) All discontinuity indications are to be recorded in the appropriate aircraft documentation and the appropriate approved repair action/rectification action taken. (2) Report all crack/discontinuities on Operator Report Form. (3) Also include:- (a) Aircraft constructor's number. (b) Aircraft registration. (c) Flying hours/landings. (a) Component/Part serial number. (e) Position, direction and length of crack/defect or discontinuity. (†) SB number.
