Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of all BAe 146 and Avro 146/RJ aircraft to modify elevator mass balance weights per the manufacturer's Mandatory Service Bulletin, completed by 30 June 1997. The change aims to reduce risk from water accumulation on elevator trailing edges in heavy precipitation. Compliance costs (parts, labor, downtime) fall to operators and must follow the service bulletin’s technical instructions; alternatives need regulator approval.
