Airworthiness Directive 96-16242
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 and 0070 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes, that currently requires certain maximum brake wear limits to be incorporated into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program. That AD also currently requires that the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) be revised to include certain procedures concerning operations in the event of a rejected takeoff (RTO). This amendment requires the incorporation of new maximum brake wear limits for additional brake units into the FAA-approved maintenance program. This action also deletes the previous requirement for the AFM revision. This amendment is prompted by the determination of the maximum allowable brake wear limits for additional brake unit part numbers. The actions specified by the AD are intended to prevent the loss of brake effectiveness during a high energy RTO.
Which aircraft AD 96-16242 applies to
Whether AD 96-16242 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.
