FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Fokker F28 Aircraft

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Fokker Model F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 series airplanes to address heat damage to the fuselage skin and stubwing structure. The proposed AD requires a one-time inspection and either repetitive leak tests or repairs to prevent leakage of hot air from the corrujoint seals, which could lead to structural damage.
