Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21476 · Instruments
Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes
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 report indicating that a passenger door opened under residual cabin pressure during taxiing after landing, and following the display of the CAB PRESS CTL alert. This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to update the Cabin Pressurization Control Fault procedure, 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 2020-0238, dated November 4, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0238).
(1) Where EASA AD 2020-0238 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0238 does not apply to this AD.
(3) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2020-0238 specifies to “incorporate the amendment in the AFM [airplane flight manual]” after contacting Fokker Services to obtain the applicable AFM amendment instructions, this AD requires incorporation of the amendment in the existing AFM before further flight after receipt from Fokker Services.
(4) Whereas paragraphs (1) and (2) of EASA AD 2020-0238 specify to “inform all flight crews, and, thereafter, operate the aeroplane accordingly,” this AD does not require those actions as those actions are already required by existing FAA operating regulations.
