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.

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all British Aerospace Model BAe 146 series airplanes and certain Model Avro 146-RJ series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection to detect corrosion of the direction link subassembly of the main landing gear (MLG) assembly, and repair or replacement of the direction link subassembly with a serviceable unit, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report of failure of the direction link subassembly due to corrosion. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such failures, which can result in directional control problems of the airplane during landing.
