What to do
Affected operators must incorporate the revised Airworthiness Limitations Section tasks and thresholds into their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date, which is 18 September 2026. Maintenance tasks and inspections detailed in the new service bulletins must be accomplished according to the specified intervals. Any discrepancies found during inspections require corrective actions before further flight, and compliance records must be updated accordingly.
Summary
The Civil Aviation Authority Airworthiness Directive G-2026-0005 is an amendment addressing the Time Limits and Maintenance Checks within the Airworthiness Limitations Section for BAE Systems BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ aeroplanes. It updates maintenance requirements and introduces additional mandatory modification tasks to ensure continued airworthiness of all models and serial numbers of these aircraft. The directive incorporates new service bulletins and supplements into the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
What changed
This amendment supersedes the previous AD G-2025-0003 and introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks, including detailed inspections, non-destructive testing, and structural modification points as outlined in newly added service bulletins and an AMM supplement. It updates the Airworthiness Limitations Section to reflect compliance with UK Regulation 2015/640 Part 26, enhancing ageing aircraft structural integrity requirements. The changes do not apply to the BAe 146-301 model.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams as it mandates updated maintenance tasks and intervals to address ageing aircraft safety concerns. Compliance ensures the structural integrity and airworthiness of BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ fleets under UK regulations, preventing unsafe conditions. Failure to comply could lead to operational restrictions or safety risks due to unaddressed structural or system issues.
