Is AD 96-19523 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 96-19523 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 96-19523 apply to?

AD 96-19523 applies to Fokker — models 2000, 3000, 4000. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series Airplanes, and Model F28 Mark 0100 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes, and Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes, that requires repetitive pre-load adjustments of the main landing gear (MLG) downlock-actuator. This AD also provides optional terminating action for the repetitive adjustments. This amendment is prompted by a report that, upon landing, the MLG of an airplane collapsed as a result of the lock toggle-links being pulled out of the over-center position by the downlock-actuator, which was due to the relative movement of the upper and lower side-stay members. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent collapse of the MLG, which could adversely affect the controllability of the airplane during landing.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Whether AD 96-19523 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.

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.
