Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19726 · 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 manufacturer serial numbers.
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 reports of cracks on certain nose landing gear (NLG) turning tubes resulting from incorrectly applied repairs. This AD requires removing the affected parts and replacing them with serviceable parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
(1) An affected part is an NLG turning tube assembly having part number (P/N) 201456200, 201071202, 201071240, or 201071241 installed on an NLG unit having a part number identified in Safran Service Bulletin F100-32-117, dated July 30, 2018.
(2) A serviceable part is an affected part that is new or that, before installation, has passed an inspection (no cracks found, having the correct radius), in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Safran Service Bulletin F100-32-117, dated July 30, 2018.
Within 22,000 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD: Replace the affected parts, with serviceable parts, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-171, dated November 27, 2018.
As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install, on any airplane, an affected part, unless it is a serviceable part.
Although Safran Service Bulletin F100-32-117, dated July 30, 2018, specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
