Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12487 · Fokker Model F.28 Series Airplanes
Fokker Model F.28 Series Airplanes
All Model F.28 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F.28 series airplanes, that requires replacing the main landing gear (MLG) torque link dampers with modified and reidentified dampers. This action is necessary to prevent degradation of the dampers, which could result in MLG high amplitude oscillation in a lateral torsional mode, and consequent MLG damage or separation of the MLG from the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
