Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 Series Airplanes

概要

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 series airplanes, that requires modification of the electrical wiring of the flight warning computer (FWC), and installation of upgraded computer software into the FWC. 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 certain nuisance alerts generated by the FWC and to ensure annunciation of certain flight alerts by the FWC during initial climb. Such nuisance alerts or failures to annunciate certain alerts could result in an improper response by the flight crew and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
