## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the elevator "G" weight support structure, and repairs if necessary. This AD also provides for an optional terminating action. This AD is prompted by reported cracking of the elevator "G" weight support structure. We are issuing 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.
