Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16767 · Fuel
Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Airplanes
This AD applies to Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.
Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance documents to include new Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with these CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by this AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) according to paragraph (j) of this AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required actions that will ensure the continued operational safety of the airplane.
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:
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 24 months after the effective date of this AD, install fuses packed in jiffy junctions [ i.e., crimped wire in-line junction device], in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF28-28-049, dated June 23, 2010, including Fokker Drawing W57273, Sheet 002, Issue C, dated June 23, 2010, Fokker Drawing W58048, Sheet 1, dated April 29, 2010, and Fokker Manual Change Notification MCNM-F28-035, dated June 23, 2010.
Before further flight after doing the modification required in paragraph (g) of this AD: Revise the maintenance program by incorporating the CDCCL specified in paragraph 1.L.(1)(c) of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF28-28-049, dated June 23, 2010, including Fokker Drawing W57273, Sheet 002, Issue C, dated June 23, 2010, Fokker Drawing W58048, Sheet 1, dated April 29, 2010, and Fokker Manual Change Notification MCNM-F28-035, dated June 23, 2010.
(i) After accomplishing the revision required by paragraph (h) of this AD, no alternative CDCCLs may be used unless the CDCCLs are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: Although European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Airworthiness Directive 2010-0194, dated September 29, 2010, specifies both revising the maintenance program to include limitations, and maintaining CDCCLs, this AD only requires the revision. Requiring a revision of the maintenance program, rather than requiring maintaining CDCCLs, requires operators to record AD compliance only at the time the revision is made. Maintaining CDCCLs specified in the airworthiness limitations must be complied with in accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c).
