Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12651 · BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 Series Airplanes and Model Avro 146-RJ Series Airplanes
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 Series Airplanes and Model Avro 146-RJ Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2011-11-06. Comply with the one in force.
Model BAe 146 series airplanes and Model Avro 146-RJ series airplanes, certificated in any category, as listed in BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Service Bulletin SB.32-158, dated June 2, 2000, except those on which Messier-Dowty Modification AC12248 has been installed.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking of the oleo strut of the nose landing gear (NLG), and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also provides for optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This action is necessary to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the oleo strut of the NLG, which could result in failure of the NLG. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
