Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16386 · Flight controls
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146-100A and -200A Airplanes
This AD applies to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146-100A and -200A airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers as listed in British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27-73-00889A&B, Revision 4, dated June 15, 1990.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Do the following actions.
(1) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the airbrake lever detent mechanism, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27-73-00889A&B, Revision 4, dated June 15, 1990.
(2) Modifying the airbrake lever detent mechanism is also acceptable for compliance with paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, if done before the effective date of this AD, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27-73-00889A&B, Revision 3, dated August 1, 1989.
Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: While European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2009-0206, dated September 30, 2009, considers Revision 0, 1, or 2 of British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27-73-00889A&B as an acceptable method of compliance, this AD does not. However, operators may request approval of an alternative method of compliance in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD.
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.
