INSPECTION SERVICE BULLETIN BAe 146 SERIES/AVRO 146-RJ SERIES AIRCRAFT ALERT TITLE: LANDING GEAR - MAIN LANDING GEAR SIDESTAY - INSPECTION OF THE OUTER LINK (LH AND RH) FOR CRACKS AND DIMENSIONAL CHECKS.

1.Planning information A.Effectivity

(1) Aircraft Aircraft affected by this inspection are defined below:- BAe 146-301 All BAe 146 100, 200, 300 Series ALL AVRO 146-RJ70, RJ85, RJ100 Series B. Reason An operator recently reported, during routine maintenance, cracking on the shoulders of the MLG sidestay outer link.

Failure of a MLG sidestay outer link could result in the collapse of the MLG, which could lead to a runway departure with corresponding aircraft damage and possible loss of life depending on the operational environment.

C.Description At Revision 1, it is necessary that operators carry out a repeat detailed inspection of the MLG sidestay outer links (Part 1). A revised one-off dimensional tolerance check is required. This supersedes the data gathering dimensional tolerance check in the Original Issue (Part 2). Finally, Revision 1 introduces a calendar backstop on the Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) 32-8 (Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) 323100-LUB-10000-1) lubrication task (Part 3).

ASB 32-A189 supersedes ISB 32-156, which wilL be cancelled.

At Revision 2, inspection accomplishment instructions are introduced for operators using Abrasion Resistant paint embodied on the MLG sidestay outer Links.
