TITLE: INSPECTION OF MAIN LANDING GEAR TRUNNION CAP TENSION BOLTS INSPECTION SERVICE BULLETIN 1. PLANNING INFORMATION A. Effectivity Jetstream Series 3100 and Series 3200 aircraft.
B. Reason For aircraft pre-mod JM5218 the Trunnion Cap Tensio n Lower Bolts MS21250 will have geometric interference between the bolt underhead r adius and trunnion cap hole. This could lead to cracking and failure of the bolt. For aircraft post-mod JM5218, in the Illustrated Pa rts Catalogue (IPC), there is an option to install either 12 point double hex head MS21250 bol ts or aircraft spline drive head MS21134 bolts to retain the MLG Trunnion Caps. Both types of bolt have a radius under the head to the shank. The IPC identifies that a countersunk washer is to be used under the head of MS21250 bolts. However, the requirement to fit a countersunk washer under the h ead of MS21134 has been omitted from the Aircraft Maintenance Manual. There will be geometric interference between the bo lt underhead radius and trunnion cap hole if a countersunk washer is not installed. This could lead to cracking and failure of the bolt, which could compromise the structural integri ty of the other tension bolts holding the main landing gear in place, resulting in collapse o f the main landing gear. C. Description The work covered by this Service Bulletin affects t he left and right main landing gear. The tasks are as follows: Pre-Mod JM5218 - Make the aircraft safe for servicing. - Gain access to main landing gear Trunnion Cap Ten sion Bolts. - Identify and remove bolt(s). - Inspect bolt(s) using Magnetic Particle Inspectio n (MPI), to confirm cracks are not present. 57-JA120141SERVICE BULLETIN

- Re-install crack-free or replacement bolts, with countersunk washers under each bolt head. - Close up. - The aircraft records are amended.
Post-Mod JM5218 - Make the aircraft safe for servicing. - Gain access to main landing gear Trunnion Cap Ten sion Bolts. - Visually inspect the Trunnion Cap Bolts to determ ine which type of bolt (head) is installed and washer is installed under each bolt h ead. - If 12 point double-hex head (MS21250) bolts and w ashers are installed, no further action is required at this time. - If any spline head (MS21134) bolts are found inst alled, remove bolts. - If washers are not installed, remove bolts. - If bolts are being re-installed, inspect bolt(s) using Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), to confirm cracks are not present. - Re-install crack-free or replacement bolts, with washers under each bolt head. - Close up. - The aircraft records are amended. D. Manpower 2 man-hours for inspection, (Mechanical skills are necessary).
4 man-hours for removal and installation of bolts a nd washers, (Mechanical and NDT skills are necessary). E. Material - Cost and Availability For the terms and conditions for the supply of mate rial, Operators are to contact: Jetstream Support, Saywell International, Aviation Centre, Downlands Business Park, Worthing, West Sussex, BN14 9LA, UK.

Any bolt that is found to be cracked must be replac ed before further flight. If a bolt is not available to replace an existing b olt that is too short to be installed with a countersunk washer under the head, then the existin g bolt may be re-installed without a washer, subject to a 500 landing repeat MPI for up to 2000 landings, after which it must be replaced with a longer bolt and countersunk washer.

AS DETAILED IN THE APPLICABLE CHAPTERS OF THE AIRCR AFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL. NOTE: Abbreviations used in the accomplishment inst ructions of this service bulletin are: AMM - Aircraft Maintenance Manual. NDI - Non-Destructive Inspection Manual. A. Preparation (1) Refer to AMM Chapter 24. Remove electrical pow er from the aircraft and display “POWER OFF” notices. (2) Place a warning placard in the flight compartme nt to prevent operation of the landing gear. (3) If the need to replace any bolt is identified r aise aircraft on jacks as detailed in AMM Chapter 7. B. Accomplishment For aircraft Pre-Mod JM5218 (1) Refer to Figures 1 and 2, identify the Trunnion Cap Tension Bolts. (2) Remove bolts MS21250 i.a.w. AMM 32-10-11 – only one bolt per side affected. (3) Inspect bolts using Magnetic Particle Inspectio n i.a.w. NDI Part 5, 20-05-01, to confirm cracks are not present. (4) Re-install crack-free or replacement bolts toge ther with countersunk washers i.a.w. AMM 32-10-11. For 3/8 in. dia. bolts washer PKS100 0-6-2-S are to be used. For 7/16 in. dia. Bolts, washer PKS1000-7-2-S are to be used. For aircraft Post-Mod JM5218 (1) Refer to Figures 1 and 2, visually inspect the Trunnion Cap Tension Bolts to determine which type of bolt is installed. (2) If 12 point double-hex head MS21250 bolts are i nstalled and countersunk washers are evident under each bolt head, no further action is required at this time. (3) If any bolts are to be removed, then they shoul d be removed and replaced one at a time, (i.e. at least 3 bolts should be installed at all times). (4) If any spline head MS21134 bolts are found inst alled, or MS21250 bolts are installed without countersunk washers, remove bolts i.a.w. AM M 32-10-11. (a) Refer to Figure 1 and paragraph 3.B. If the exi sting bolts are spline head MS21134, these must be removed and discarded. The e xisting MS21134 parts are not long enough to allow countersunk washers to be fitted.
