INSPECTION SERVICE BULLETIN BAe 146 SERIES/AVRO 146-RJ SERIES AIRCRAFT TITLE: FUSELAGE - CENTRE FUSELAGE - TO INSPECT FORWARD RIB O LONGERON

1.Planning information A.Effectivity

(1) Aircraft Aircraft affected by this inspection are defined below:- BAe 146 Series 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 radius of the Rib 0 Forward Longeron at Frame 26.

The cracking initiated close to a local blend in the radius.

Failure of a Rib O Forward Longeron could result in loss of continuity across the wing box, causing re-distribution of loading into the fuselage skin or the adjacent Rib 1 longerons. Such re-distribution if not detected and corrected, could result in failure of the fuselage skin, leading to rapid decompression and potential loss of the aircraft.

C.Description This Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) requires a one-off visual and high frequency eddy current inspection of the radius of the Rib O Forward Longeron at Frame 26.

D. Compliance The technical content of this ISB is the subject of UK CAA Airworthiness Directive consultation.

Accomplish the instructions in para.2.C within 6 months of publication of this ISB.

IS DISMANTLED, ADJUSTED, REPAIRED OR RENEWED, THAT PART OF

THE SYSTEM WHICH HAS BEEN DISTURBED SHALL BE

A SECOND INDEPENDENT INSPECTION FOR SECURITY OF LOCKING

DEVICES, FULL AND FREE MOVEMENT, DIRECTION AND TENSION CHECKS.

ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE M.A. 402 (a) TO EASA PART M, OR TO AN EQUIVALENT NATIONAL STANDARD.

(1) The following abbreviations are used within this document:- AMM - Aircraft Maintenance Manual jaw - in accordance with ISB - Inspection Service Bulletin LH - Left Hand RH - Right Hand SRM - Structural Repair Manual.

NTM - Non-Destructive Testing Manual.

(2) Observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS appearing in the AMM referred to in this ISB.

(3) Restore protective treatment as required, using epoxy primer (Material No.16-580) and polyurethane top coat grey (Material No. 16-584).

B.Preparation

(1) Refer to AMM 06-40-00. Remove access panels 281AT, 281AZ, 281BT, 281CT, 282AZ, 282BT, 282CT.

(2) Gain access to the Rib O Forward Longeron.

(3) Remove sealant and clean the LH and RH edge of the Longeron, to allow the straight edge to be located (Ref. Drawing 1).

INSPECTION SERVICE BULLETIN BAe 146 SERIES/AVRO 146-RJ SERIES AIRCRAFT C. Inspection

(1) Refer to Drawing 1. Perform a detailed inspection of the radius edge and flanges of the LH and RH sides of Rib O Forward Longeron for evidence of rough edges, nicks, or visible cracking.

- Use 10x magnification and a strong light and mirror as required.

(2) Refer to Drawing 1. Inspect for evidence of blending or undercutting in the radius and flanges of the LH and RH sides of Rib O Forward Longeron.

- Use a metallic straight edge (minimum 6 inches (152.4 mm)) NOTE: Blending or undercutting is present if a gap is visible between the straight edge and the edge of the longeron.

(3) Refer to Appendix 2 inspection of the radius edge. Perform a high frequency eddy current

(4) Before further flight, report any cracking, surface defects, blending or undercutting found to BAE Systems Repair Design Office (raengliaisonabaesystems.com) and await further instruction. Use a copy of the Inspection Report form in Appendix 1.
