Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146-100A, -200A, and -300A Series Airplanes

Thu, Dec 20 2007 11:00:00 GMT

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

Cracking has been found on the centre fuselage top aft longeron at Rib `0,' on an inservice aircraft. * * *
This condition could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

Life raft was incorrectly stowed, with deployment straps inboard; Life raft had not been repacked to specified dimensions.

* * * * * * *

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

Special Conditions: Aviation Technology Group, Inc., Javelin Model 100; High Altitude Operations

Thu, Dec 20 2007 11:00:00 GMT

This action proposes special conditions for the Aviation Technology Group, Inc., Javelin Model 100 airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature(s) associated with high altitude operations. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for these design features. These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
