Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires all owners/operators of DH.104 (Dove) aircraft to inspect and, if necessary, rectify or replace the flap‑to‑flap jack connecting pin in accordance with BAe TNS 246 Issue 1, within seven days’ time‑in‑service after 7 December 1988. It targets maintenance organisations and engineers, aiming to eliminate pins of the same faulty manufacture found on DH.114 that caused an in‑flight asymmetric flap—trading concentrated operator cost and downtime for reduced safety risk.
