Is AD 98-24902 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 98-24902 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 98-24902 apply to?

AD 98-24902 applies to Fokker — models 2000, 3000, 4000. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

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

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections of the center joint of the main landing gear (MLG) torque link and the MLG assembly for excessive free-play; and correction, if necessary. This AD also requires installation of new MLG torque link dampers, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections; and revision of the FAA-approved maintenance program to incorporate inspections and overhaul of the new torque link dampers. 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 the failure of MLG torque links, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane on the ground during takeoff or 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.

applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records

Whether AD 98-24902 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.
