Models named: BN2A MK. III, BN2A MK. III-2, BN2A MK. III-3. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Britten-Norman Aerospace Ltd. airplanes, certificated in any category, fitted with Fairey Hydraulics Ltd or Britten-Norman Aircraft landing gear and associated landing gear components, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this AD. (1) Model BN-2, BN-2A, BN-2A-2, BN-2A-3, BN-2A-6, BN-2A-8, BN-2A-9, BN-2A-20, BN-2A-21, BN-2A-26, BN-2A-27, BN-2B-20, BN-2B-21, BN-2B-26, BN-2B-27, BN-2T, BN2T-4R, and BN2T-4S airplanes. (2) Model BN2A MK. III, BN2A MK. III-2, and BN2A MK. III-3 airplanes.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

For the purpose of this AD: (1) An “affected part” is a main landing gear (MLG), nose landing gear (NLG), or component identified in Table 1, 2, or 3 of Section 6 in Britten-Norman SB 298, Issue 3, dated July 7, 2023 (Britten-Norman SB 298, Issue 3). (2) A “part eligible for installation” is an MLG, NLG, or component with a part that has been established to be below the associated fatigue life identified in Table 1, 2, or 3 of Section 6 in Britten-Norman SB 298, Issue 3.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by the determination that in order to ensure the continued structural integrity of certain landing gear and associated components, it is necessary to require removal of these components from service prior to exceeding established fatigue lives. Exceeding the established fatigue life, if not addressed, could result in failure of the structural integrity of the landing gear and associated components, which could result in damage to the airplane and injury to occupants.

Affected ADs

None.
