Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 Series Airplanes

Zusammenfassung

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time inspection to verify the correct routing and tension of the flight control lock cables and the elevator control cables, and rerouting or adjustment of the tension of these cables, if necessary. This proposal is prompted by a report indicating that an inspection for routing and tension of the flight control lock cables and elevator control cables may not have been accomplished during modification of the airplanes at the factory. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent incorrect routing and tension of the flight lock control cables and the elevator control cables, which could result in inadvertent disconnection of those cables, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
