irworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series Airplanes

Zusammenfassung

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes, that requires replacement of certain hinges on the forward, center, and aft cargo doors with improved hinges. 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 failure of the cargo door hinges caused by stress corrosion or fatigue cracks, which could result in decompression of the airplane, and possible in-flight separation of the cargo door.
