Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 series airplanes, that requires a one-time visual inspection to detect missing rivet heads or loose rivets of the applicable stringer-to-rib connections in the upper and lower wing skin, and repair, if necessary. In lieu of the one-time visual inspection or in addition to that inspection, the AD also requires replacement of certain rivets with certain new rivets in all applicable rib-to-stringer connections of the upper and lower wings. This amendment is prompted by reports of missing rivet heads at the rib-to- stringer connections of the upper and lower wing skin at stringers 5 and 6. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent reduced structural integrity of the wings that is caused by problems associated with missing and/or loose rivets.

Whether AD 97-362 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 97-362 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.
