Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2007-04-23. Comply with the one in force.
Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 series airplanes, certificated in any category, equipped with any Dowty or Messier- Dowty main landing gear (MLG) listed in Table 1 of this AD. Table 1.--Affected MLG MLG having part Number (P/N)-- Which have sliding member P/N-- 201072011....................... 201072301 or 201072305 201072012....................... 201072301 or 201072305 201072013....................... 201072301 or 201072305 201012014....................... 201072301 or 201072305 201072015....................... 201072301 or 201072305 201072016....................... 201072301 or 201072305
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 series airplanes, that requires a magnetic inspection of the sliding members of the main landing gear (MLG) for cracking, and replacement of the sliding members with serviceable parts, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent fatigue cracking of the sliding member, which could result in possible separation of the MLG from the airplane and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane upon landing and possible injury to passengers. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
