| Background: | The manufacturer has determined that, in order to assure the continued structural integrity of the fuselage frames 15, 18, 41, and 43 of the BAe 146 and AVRO 146-RJ aircraft, a revised inspection programme for this area is necessary. Cracking, if undetected could lead to catastrophic structural failure.Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new, revised EASA AD, which retains the inspections, repair and rework requirements of UK CAA AD G-2005-0019; requires the additional accomplishment of ISB 53-182 Revision 1. This revision to the ISB adds an eddy current inspection of the frame outer flanges and door hinge bosses which have also been found to be susceptible to corrosion. |
