Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires operators of BAe 146 series aeroplanes fitted with hydraulic fuses P/N ACM29100 (mod 1 or 2) to modify those fuses in accordance with a British Aerospace/CAA(UK) mandatory service bulletin, under staged deadlines tied to each aircraft’s flight count. It affects BAe 146 operators and maintenance organisations because the modification addresses a fork-end fitting failure mode that can cause loss of both hydraulic systems.

Requirements: Action in accordance with technical requirements of British Aerospace Service Bulletin, CAA(UK) Mandatory, 32-130-70295C dated 27 September 1991.

Compliance: Compliance required by 31 January 1992 on all aircraft equipped with hydraulic fuses, as defined in para 1 A (1) of the requirement document, that will have completed 4 000 flights on, or before 26 December 1991 since the introduction of these fuses. All other remaining affected hydraulic fuses must be modified by

Background: Two cases have occurred of failure of the fork end fitting to the hydraulic fuses in the yellow hydraulic system. The same fuses are also fitted in the green hydraulic system. Due to mode of failure , there is a possibility of a double hydraulic system failure if a fuse fails in one system, followed by fuse failure in the other system.
