Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 Airplanes
This AD applies to Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and F.28 Mark 0100, serial numbers 11244 thru 11585, certificated in any category, equipped with Messier-Dowty main landing gears.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done: Within the applicable compliance time specified in paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD, do the following actions.
(1) For Messier-Dowty MLG in a pre-mod Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin F100-32-050 configuration: Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, replace the upper torque link pin with a new fuse pin in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-148, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2007.
(2) For Messier-Dowty MLG in a post-mod Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin F100-32-050 configuration: Within 30 months after the effective date of this AD, replace the upper torque link pin with a new fuse pin in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-148, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2007.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: The MCAI references the original version of the service bulletin or a later approved version. The original version of the service bulletin specifies to use an incorrect part number. This AD refers to Revision 1 of the service bulletin.
