Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14331 · British Aerospace Model HS 748 Airplanes
British Aerospace Model HS 748 Airplanes
This AD applies to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model HS 748 series 2A and series 2B airplanes, certificated in any category, with batteries installed in the nosecone.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain British Aerospace Model HS 748 airplanes. This AD requires relocating the battery earth posts located on the nose landing gear (NLG) pintle webs. This AD results from an accident in which the nose landing leg, together with the pintle webs, detached from the airplane. As a result, the battery earth return cables were severed from their earth posts. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of safety critical services including fuel shut-off and nacelle fire extinguishing services.
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 120 days after the effective date of this AD, relocate the battery earth posts, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Service Bulletin HS748-24-131, Revision 1, dated June 16, 2003.
