Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 Series Airplanes

概要

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Fokker Model F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time visual inspection to detect cracking of the brake torque tube lever, and corrective action, if necessary. This proposal is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent failure of the brake torque tube lever, which could result in a disconnection between the brake pedal and brake system, and consequent reduced directional controllability of the airplane during landing.
