SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  

REGULATORY TEXT:   87-23-03 BRITISH AEROSPACE: Amendment 39-5757. Applies to all Model Viscount 700, 800, and 810 series airplanes which have accumulated more than 10,000 landings, certificated in any category.

Compliance required as indicated, unless previously accomplished.

To prevent failure of the wing due to cracking, accomplish the following:

A. Before further flight:

1. Visually inspect the wing upper surface and end rib in accordance with applicable British Aerospace Preliminary Technical Leaflet No. 185 or No. 316, both dated October 23, 1986. Repeat this inspection at intervals not to exceed 25 landings.

2. Perform eddy current inspection of the wing in accordance with applicable British Aerospace Preliminary Technical Leaflet No. 185 or No. 316, both dated October 23, 1986. Repeat this inspection at intervals not to exceed 1,500 landings.

B. Any cracks found as a result of the inspections required by paragraph A., above, must be repaired prior to further flight in a manner approved by the FAA.

C. An alternate means of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Northwest Mountain Region.

D. Eddy current inspections may be deferred for 15,000 landings after incorporation of Modification D3292 or Modification FG2172 as applicable.

All persons affected by this proposal who have not already received the appropriate service documents from the manufacturer may obtain copies upon request to British Aerospace, Librarian for Service Bulletins, P.O. Box 17414, Dulles International Airport, Washington, D.C. 20041. These documents may be examined at the FAA, Northwest Mountain Region, 17900 Pacific Highway South, Seattle, Washington, or at the Seattle Aircraft Certification Office, 9010 East Marginal Way South, Seattle, Washington.

This Amendment becomes effective December 9, 1987.
