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

요약

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection of the torque links of the main landing gear (MLG) assemblies to determine if the lockwire is present on the apex bolt; and corrective action, if necessary. 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 MLG due to loose connections between the upper and lower torque links of the MLG.
