Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17817 · Fuel
Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes
This AD applies to Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a design review, which revealed that no controlled bonding provisions are present on a number of critical locations inside the fuel tank or connected to the fuel tank wall. This AD requires installing additional bonding provisions in the fuel tank, and revising the airplane maintenance or inspection program by incorporating fuel airworthiness limitation items and critical design configuration control limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent an ignition source in the fuel tank vapor space, which could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss 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.
(1) Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD: Install the additional bonding provisions at the locations specified in, and in accordance with, Parts 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-28-069, dated August 17, 2012, which includes the attachments identified in paragraphs (g)(1)(i) through (g)(1)(ix) of this AD.
