Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Directive requires operators of BAe 146 aircraft fitted with the Safeflight Windshear Computer (BAe Mod HCM40270A&B) to carry out the inspection and actions in BAe Alert Inspection Service Bulletin S.B.34‑A155. Inspections must occur before further flight after 30 September 1993 and thereafter at each ‘A’ check or every 300 flight cycles until a modified computer is installed. It responds to reports that loss of the flap position signal can produce incorrect flight‑director guidance, and places inspection and upgrade costs on aircraft operators.
