Is AD 03-16 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 03-16 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 03-16 apply to?

AD 03-16 applies to Fokker — models 0100. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 series airplanes, that requires measurement of the over-center force of the thrust reverser operating levers, a functional test of the secondary lock solenoid of the thrust reversers, and corrective actions if necessary. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct an insufficient over-center force in the corresponding thrust reverser operating lever, and incorrect setting of the thrust reverser selector switch (S9), which could result in uncommanded deployment of the thrust reversers during flight and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This AD is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records

Whether AD 03-16 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 03-16 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
