Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19360 · Landing gear
Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes
This AD applies to Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers, if equipped with Goodrich main landing gear (MLG), part number (P/N) 41050-x (all dashes) or P/N 41060-x (all dashes).
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that the retraction actuator eye-end of a Goodrich main landing gear (MLG) failed. This AD requires a one-time general visual inspection of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) MLG retraction actuators and replacement if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
For the purposes of this AD, a “serviceable part” is a serviceable retraction actuator with an eye-end that does not have any indication of interference or damage, as specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-168, dated May 22, 2017.
Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, perform a general visual inspection of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) MLG retraction actuators for deficiencies (i.e., check for the presence of interference damage, including evidence of removed damage, and for the orientation of the greasing nipple), in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-168, dated May 22, 2017. If any deficiency is found, before further flight, replace the affected MLG retraction actuator with a serviceable part, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-168, dated May 22, 2017.
