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

Краткое содержание

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0100 series airplanes, that requires a one-time visual inspection and a one-time eddy current and/or dye penetrant inspection of the nose landing gear (NLG) main fitting to detect cracking; and rework of the NLG main fitting, 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 cracking of the NLG main fitting, which could lead to collapse of the NLG during takeoff and landing and possible injury to the flightcrew and passengers.
