Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14863 · Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 Airplanes
Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 Airplanes
This AD applies to all Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 airplanes. This AD requires revising the Limitations section of the airplane flight manual regarding the use of continuous ignition, fuel filter heating, and resetting circuit breakers during flight in certain conditions such as icing. This AD results from reports of power loss on one or both engines in icing conditions. We are issuing this AD to advise the flightcrew that continuous ignition will not reduce the probability of power loss, and what action they must take to avoid this hazard. Loss of power in one or more engines during flight, if not prevented, could result in loss of control of the airplane.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations section of the Fokker F27 AFM by incorporating the information specified in Fokker Manual Change Notification—Operational Documentation (MCNO) MCNO-F27-020, dated June 1, 2004, into the Limitations section of the AFM.
Note 1: The actions required by paragraph (f) of this AD may be done by inserting a copy of MCNO MCNO-F27-020 into the Limitations section of the Fokker F27 AFM. When this MCNO, MCNO-F27-020, has been included in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in MCNO MCNO-F27-020.
