EASA AD G-2021-0011
SUPERSEDED BY CAA UK AD G-2025-0003
Summary
Civil Aviation Authority Airworthiness Directive G-2021-0011 is an official UK regulatory document addressing the continuing airworthiness requirements for BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ aeroplanes. This directive mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks as specified in the latest Aircraft Maintenance Manual and associated documents. It applies to all models and serial numbers of the BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ aircraft.
What Changed
This directive supersedes CAA AD G-2021-0009 and corrects an erroneous task reference from FSII 55-11-115 to FSII 55-11-112. It retains the maintenance requirements from the previous AD but introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as published in the latest Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS).
Why It Matters
The directive ensures that operators and maintenance organizations adhere to the most current mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits, which are critical for the safe continued operation of BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ aircraft. Compliance prevents unsafe conditions caused by failure to perform required inspections and replacements. It also clarifies compliance recording procedures and allows for alternative methods of compliance if approved.
What To Do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks and inspections as specified in the updated ALS starting from the effective date. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months to incorporate these requirements. Any discrepancies found during inspections must be corrected before further flight according to approved maintenance documentation.
