Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11407 · British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ Series Airplanes
British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ Series Airplanes
Model BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ series airplanes, except those on which Modification HCMO1638A (British Aerospace Service Bulletin SB.26-44-01638A, dated February 25, 1999) has been accomplished; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Avro 146-RJ series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect signs of chafing to the fuel feed pipe, and repair or replacement of the fuel feed pipe with a serviceable part, if necessary; and ensuring that responder units, electrical connector backshells, and associated wiring are undamaged and are positioned correctly to provide maximum clearance with the fuel pipe. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent damage to the fuel feed pipe, which could result in fuel leaks and an increased potential for fire on the airplane.
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.
