Is AD 2022-25-18 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2022-25-18 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-06- 14, which applied to certain British Aerospace Model BAe 146 and Model Avro 146-RJ series airplanes. AD 2005-06-14 required repetitive inspections for cracking of the outer links on the main landing gear (MLG) side stays, and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2005-06-14 also provided an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2005-06-14, there has been a report of additional cracking on a MLG side stay on which the terminating action has been done. This AD continues to require the actions specified in AD 2005-06-14 and requires new repetitive inspections for cracking of the MLG side stay outer link and replacement if necessary as specified in a United Kingdom (U.K.) Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) (U.K. CAA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Applies only to airplanes with main landing gear (MLG) side stay outer links having one of the listed Safran Landing Systems part numbers installed.

Whether AD 2022-25-18 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
