Note 1: Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes are not subject to the requirements of this AD. Note 2: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
Compliance
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent fatigue cracking of the elevator gust lock housing and the gust lock support structure, which could result in loss of the elevator and the support structure, and subsequent possible loss of primary pitch control, accomplish the following: (a) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, perform a one-time detailed visual inspection to detect cracking of the elevator gust lock housing and the gust lock support structure, in accordance with Fokker Service Bulletin F28/55-30, Revision 1, dated January 4, 1993. (b) If any cracking is found, prior to further flight, repair or replace the cracked elevator gust lock housing or gust lock support structure with a new or serviceable part in accordance with Fokker Service Bulletin F28/55-30, Revision 1, dated January 4, 1993. Use of the elevator gust lock system is prohibited until cracked parts are replaced with new or serviceable parts. (c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113. Note 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Standardization Branch, ANM-113. (d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
