## Summary

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the elevator "G" weight support structure, and repairs if necessary. This proposed AD also provides for an optional terminating action. This proposed AD is prompted by reported cracking of the elevator "G" weight support structure. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the elevator "G" weight support structure with possible consequent jamming of the right-hand elevator servo tab and reduced controllability of the airplane.
