Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9310 · Airbus SAS Airplanes
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS BAC 1-11 200 Series, BAC 1-11 400 Series.
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 British Aerospace Model BAC 1-11 200 and 400 series airplanes, that currently requires structural inspections and repairs or replacements, as necessary. This amendment requires additional inspections of certain Structural Significant Items (SSI) and expansion of the inspection area for certain other SSI's. This amendment is prompted by the results of a structural integrity audit, which indicated that in order to maintain the structural integrity of these airplanes as they approach or exceed the manufacturer's original fatigue design life goal, certain SSI's need to be inspected. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure continuing structural integrity of these airplanes.
