Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8830 · Various Airplanes
Various Airplanes
This AD applies to Various F.28 Mark 0100.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the bottom joint fittings and modification of these new bottom joint fittings, the main landing gear (MLG) rear spar fittings, and the rear spar webs by cold-expanding the bolt holes. This amendment is prompted by full-scale fatigue testing of a Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplane, which revealed cracks in the MLG rear spar fitting. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of the structural integrity of the MLG attachments.
