Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes, that currently requires an inspection to detect free movement of the actuator servo-valve sub-assembly of the horizontal stabilizer actuator, and replacement, if necessary. This amendment adds a one-time inspection to determine the residual strength of the servo-valve sub-assembly of the horizontal stabilizer actuator, and replacement of the actuator with a new or serviceable actuator, if necessary; and eventual replacement of the horizontal stabilizer actuator with an improved actuator. 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 uncommanded trimming or failure of the trim system of the horizontal stabilizer, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Whether AD 98-16451 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 98-16451 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.
