Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 Series Airplanes

Samenvatting

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the flight control computers (FCC) with new, improved FCC's; and removal of certain limitations from the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that, during a level change descent with auto throttles engaged and manual flight, airplanes inadvertently have approached near minimum speeds. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent inadvertent loss of airspeed during a level change descent.
