Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2020-09-11. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to all Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in Fokker Engineering Report SE-623, Fokker 70/100 Airworthiness Limitations Section, Part 2—(Structure ALI's and Safe Life Items), Issue 18, dated June 14, 2018.
(1) The initial compliance time for doing the tasks is at the time specified in Fokker Engineering Report SE-623, Fokker 70/100 Airworthiness Limitations Section, Part 2—(Structure ALI's and Safe Life Items), Issue 18, dated June 14, 2018, or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
(2) If any discrepancy is found, before further flight, repair using a method approved by the Manager, International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); or Fokker B.V. Service's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
After the maintenance or inspection program has been revised as required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions or intervals are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD.
(1) Accomplishing the actions required by this AD terminates all requirements of AD 2017-06-06.
(2) Accomplishing the actions required by this AD terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2012-12-07.
