What to do
Operators must, from 23 September 2021, perform all maintenance tasks and replacements as specified in the updated Airworthiness Limitations Section, including new inspections and life limit replacements. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before further flight using approved procedures. Within 12 months of the effective date, operators must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme to incorporate the updated tasks and limitations. Compliance with previous grace periods remains valid.
Summary
Civil Aviation Authority Airworthiness Directive G-2021-0009 is an airworthiness directive applicable to all models and serial numbers of BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks as specified in the BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd Aircraft Maintenance Manual Revision 130 and associated documents. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing life limits, maintenance intervals, and corrective actions for these aircraft.
What changed
This directive supersedes the previous EASA AD 2020-0254 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations in the Airworthiness Limitations Section. It updates the Aircraft Maintenance Manual to Revision 130 and associated documents, requiring operators to comply with revised life limits, maintenance thresholds, and intervals. Additionally, it introduces a new inspection task FSSI 55-11-115 with specific compliance timing for aircraft with over 20,000 flights.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to ensure the safe and continued operation of BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ aircraft by mandating compliance with the latest approved maintenance requirements. Failure to comply could result in unsafe conditions due to overlooked structural or system limitations. Compliance teams must update maintenance programs and records to reflect these changes to maintain regulatory approval and operational safety.
