Yet another airworthiness directive on floating spoilers causing uncommanded roll, this time on a Learjet. Read the last sentence:

99-23-19 LEARJET, INC.: Amendment 39-11415. Docket 99-NM-15-AD. Issued October 28, 1999.
Applicability: Model 31 and 31A airplanes, serial numbers 31-033, 31-105, 31-114, 31-126, and 31-150 through 31-161 inclusive; Model 35 and 35A airplanes, serial numbers 35-065, 35-242, 35-300, 35-323, 35-447, 35-622,
and 35-670; and Model 60 airplanes, serial numbers 60-029, 60-050, 60-120 through 60-139 inclusive; certificated in any category.
NOTE 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.
To prevent failure of the spoiler actuator, which could result in the spoiler panel floating and inducing an uncommanded roll of the airplane, accomplish the following:
