Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9194 · BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes
This AD applies to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Avro 146-RJ100A, Avro 146-RJ70A, Avro 146-RJ85A, BAe 146-100A, BAe 146-200A, BAe 146-300A.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain British Aerospace Model BAe 146-100A, -200A, and -300A series airplanes, that currently requires repetitive inspections of the attachment bolts and nuts in the rear spar root joint attachment fittings at wing rib 2 for integrity of nuts, tightness of bolts, and/or fuel leaks; and repair, if necessary. That AD was prompted by fuel leaks from bolt positions on the rear spar attachment fitting at wing rib 2. This amendment provides for an optional terminating modification for the repetitive inspections, and expands the applicability of the existing AD to include additional airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fuel leaks and a subsequent fire.
