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

Resumo

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 series airplanes, that requires inspection of the wing leading edge sections for the correct amount of bleed air exhaust holes, and corrective actions, 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 malfunction of the wing leading edge thermal anti-ice system, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane and/or reduced structural integrity of the wing due to overheating.
