Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14278 · British Aerospace Model HS 748 Airplanes
British Aerospace Model HS 748 Airplanes
This AD applies to all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model HS 748 series 2A and series 2B airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all British Aerospace Model HS 748 airplanes. This AD requires modifying the undercarriage of the nose landing gear (NLG). This AD results from a report that pintle pins could be installed in an incorrect manner during maintenance without maintenance personnel being aware (or having feedback) that the pin was installed incorrectly. We are issuing this AD to prevent jamming or collapse of the NLG, which could result in damage to the airplane structure or injury to passengers or crew.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 64 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the undercarriage of the NLG in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Service Bulletin HS748-32-104, dated April 9, 2002.
