FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Model Avro 146-RJ Series Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Model Avro 146-RJ series airplanes to address fatigue cracking of the inner sidestays of the main landing gear (MLG). The directive would require repetitive non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections and replacement of the sidestay if necessary.
