Airworthiness Directive 2000-07-28
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F27 Series Airplanes Equipped With Rolls-Royce 532-7 “Dart 7” (RDa-7) Series Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F27 series airplanes, that currently requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew with modified operational procedures to ensure continuous operation with the high pressure cock (HPC) levers in the lockout position. This amendment retains the requirements of the existing AD for the Normal and Abnormal Procedures Sections of the AFM, and requires incorporation of amended Limitations and Emergency Procedures Sections into the AFM. This amendment is prompted by a report that certain incorrect instructions had been included in the Emergency Procedures Section of the AFM revision required by the existing AD. The actions specified in this AD are intended to ensure that flightcrews follow correct procedures that will maintain the HPC levers in a permanent lockout position to prevent consequent burnout of the engines during flight.
Which aircraft AD 2000-07-28 applies to
Applies to Model F27 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as listed in Fokker F27 Service Bulletin F27/61-40, Revision 1, dated August 1, 1997.
Whether AD 2000-07-28 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
