Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19907 · Time limits/maintenance checks
Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2023-14-04. 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 superseding Airworthiness directive (AD) 2017-06-06 and AD 2019-12-10, which applied to all Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. Those ADs required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2019-12-10, with no changes. Within 90 days after August 1, 2019 (the effective date of AD 2019-12-10), 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 ALIs and Safe Life Items), Issue 18, dated June 14, 2018. Accomplishing the maintenance or inspection program revision required by paragraph (i) of this AD terminates the requirements of this paragraph.
(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 ALIs and Safe Life Items), Issue 18, dated June 14, 2018, or within 90 days after August 1, 2019, whichever occurs later.
(2) If any discrepancy is found, before further flight, repair using a method approved by the Manager, Large Aircraft Section, International Validation Branch, FAA; or the European Union 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.
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 2019-12-10, with a new exception. Except as required by paragraph (i) of this AD, 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 (m)(1) of this AD.
Except as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with EASA AD 2020-0024, dated February 13, 2020 (“EASA AD 2020-0024”). Accomplishing the maintenance or inspection program revision required by this paragraph terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of this AD.
(1) The requirements specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of EASA AD 2020-0024 do not apply to this AD.
(2) Paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0024 specifies revising “the AMP” within 12 months after its effective date, but this AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the “limitations, tasks and associated thresholds and intervals” specified in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0024 within 90 days after the effective date of this AD.
(3) The initial compliance time for doing the tasks specified in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0024 is at the applicable “associated thresholds” specified in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0024, or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
(4) The provisions specified in paragraphs (4) and (5) of EASA AD 2020-0024 do not apply to this AD.
(5) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0024 does not apply to this AD.
After the existing maintenance or inspection program has been revised as required by paragraph (i) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals are allowed unless they are approved as specified in the provisions of the “Ref. Publications” section of EASA AD 2020-0024.
Accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (g) or (i) of this AD terminates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2012-12-07.
