Summary
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:
BAE Systems have received reports of in-service failure of the Main Landing Gear (MLG) shock absorber lower attachment pin.
* * * * *
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to a MLG collapse on the ground or during landing and consequently damage to the aeroplane or injury to the occupants.
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
