Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0100 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2004-14-01. Comply with the one in force.
Model F.28 Mark 0100 series airplanes, certificated in any category, equipped with Messier-Dowty main landing gear units having part numbers (P/N) 201072011, 201072012, 201072013, 201072014, 201072015, or 201072016, that include main fitting subassemblies having P/Ns 201072283, 201072284, or 201251258 (main fittings having P/Ns 201072383, 201072384, or 201072389).
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0100 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections of certain main landing gear (MLG) main fittings to detect forging defects, and rework of the main fittings if necessary. This action is necessary to detect forging defects of the MLG main fittings, which could lead to cracking and result in significant structural damage to the airplane and possible injury to the occupants.
