Airworthiness Directive 98-26395
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F27 Mark 050, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 Rough Field Version (RFV) Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 Rough Field Version (RFV) series airplanes, that currently requires inspection of the main landing gear (MLG) legs to determine if parts are missing or damaged, and modification, if necessary; and periodic measurements of the extension of each MLG shock absorber sliding member. That AD also provides for the accomplishment of a certain modification as optional terminating action for the periodic measurements. This amendment requires accomplishment of the previously optional terminating action, and revises the applicability of the existing AD to add an airplane model. 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 loss of the MLG sliding member, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the MLG.
Which aircraft AD 98-26395 applies to
Whether AD 98-26395 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:
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.
