Fokker Model F28 Series Airplanes to Comply with New Airworthiness Directive

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has adopted a new airworthiness directive requiring Fokker Model F28 series airplanes to undergo a revision to their Airplane Flight Manual, which prohibits takeoff in certain icing conditions unless a tactile inspection is performed or specific takeoff procedures are followed, in response to several accidents involving ice contamination on the wings.
