Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain British Aerospace Model HS 748 airplanes. This AD requires relocating the battery earth posts located on the nose landing gear (NLG) pintle webs. This AD results from an accident in which the nose landing leg, together with the pintle webs, detached from the airplane. As a result, the battery earth return cables were severed from their earth posts. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of safety critical services including fuel shut-off and nacelle fire extinguishing services.
