Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes
This AD applies to Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0002, dated January 8, 2020 (“EASA AD 2020-0002”).
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a crack found in the inboard boom of the left- hand frame at fuselage station (STA) 17011. This AD requires a detailed inspection of the fuselage at STA 17011 for any cracking, repair if necessary, and a reporting requirement, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2020-0002.
(1) Where EASA AD 2020-0002 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0002 does not apply to this AD.
(3) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2020-0002 requires accomplishing the corrective action “before next flight, or before exceeding the fly-on time (if any) provided by Fokker Services, as applicable,” this AD requires that the corrective action be accomplished before further flight.
(4) Paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0002 specifies to report inspection results to Fokker Services B.V. within a certain compliance time. For this AD, report inspection results at the applicable time specified in paragraph (h)(4)(i) or (ii) of this AD.
(i) If the inspection was done on or after the effective date of this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the inspection.
