Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10580 · Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series Airplanes
Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series Airplanes
Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes; serial numbers 11003 through 11201 inclusive, 11991, and 11992; on which Fokker Service Bulletin F28/53-125, dated January 23, 1993, has been accomplished; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection to determine the torque values of the coupling fitting attachment bolts at fuselage station 10790, and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of the coupling fitting attachment bolts between the center wing section and the fuselage, and consequent reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
