ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: REGULATORY TEXT: 89-12-03 BRITISH AEROSPACE: Amendment 39-6228. Applicability: Model BAe 125-800A series airplanes, up to and including serial number 258147, certificated in any category. Compliance: Required as indicated, unless previously accomplished. To prevent damage to the engine fan blades, accomplish the following: A. Within 14 days after the effective date of this AD, inspect the left and right airflow angle sensor vanes for the trailing edge balance weight installation feature, in accordance with British Aerospace Service Bulletin 27-149, dated March 17, 1989. 1. If the inspection reveals an airflow angle sensor vane that does not have the balance weight feature installed, no further action is required. 2. If the inspection reveals an airflow angle sensor vane that has the balance weight feature installed, visually inspect the balance weight for security of its attachment in the trailing edge of the airflow angle sensor vane, in accordance with the service bulletin. a. If the balance weight is loose, damaged, or missing, replace it with a new airflow angle sensor vane prior to further flight, in accordance with the service bulletin. b. If the balance weight is secure and is not damaged, reinspect the balance weight for security, prior to each flight, until it is replaced with a new airflow angle sensor vane that does not have the trailing edge balance weight installation feature. B. 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. NOTE: The request should be forwarded through an FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector (PMI), who will either concur or comment and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113. C. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base for the accomplishment of the requirements of this AD. All persons affected by this directive who have not already received the appropriate service information from the manufacturer may obtain copies upon request to British Aerospace, PLC, Librarian for Service Bulletins, P.O. Box 17414, Dulles International Airport, Washington, D.C. 20041.
