Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 Series Airplanes

Короткий зміст

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection to detect fatigue cracking of the hinges of the cargo doors, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that, during inspections of the cargo door area, fatigue cracking of hinges of the cargo doors was detected. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to detect and correct such cracking, which could result in structural failure of the cargo doors, and consequent rapid decompression of the airplane and possible separation of the cargo doors from the airplane during flight.
