Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of four specific BAe 146 aircraft (c/n E2188, E2192, E3190, E3194) to carry out inspections of the Rib 2 lower wing skin joint following BAE Systems Mandatory Service Bulletin 57‑40 (rev 3). It responds to delivered wing-sets with reduced hole landing that may reduce long‑term residual strength; four fasteners on the right-hand wing are removed and the holes inspected (eddy‑current). Operators must follow the Service Bulletin’s initial and repeat inspection schedule.

AD/BAe 146/82 Rib 2 Lower Wing Skin Joint 13/2000

Applicability: Model BAe 146 Series 200 aircraft, constructors numbers E2188 and E2192. Model BAe 146 Series 300 aircraft, constructors numbers E3190 and E3194.

Requirement: Inspect in accordance with BAE Systems Mandatory Service Bulletin 57-40 revision 3.

Compliance: As specified in the Requirement document for the initial and repeat inspection requirements.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 28 December 2000.

Background: Certain wing-sets, delivered from the vendor, had a marked reduction in the amount of landing between four particular fastener hole centres and the edge of the butt strap at Rib 2 lower wing skin joint. A reduced hole landing could lead to a decrease in the long term damage tolerance residual strength. Four specified fasteners are removed from the right hand wing and an inspection of the holes is accomplished using eddy current techniques.
