Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 and 0070 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 and 0070 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the fusible pin in the upper torque link of the main landing gear with an improved pin. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent reduced structural integrity and potential collapse of the main landing gear.

Whether AD 97-29443 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 97-29443 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.
