The side stay bracket is a structural component that helps hold the landing gear in place when the plane is on the ground.\n\n**What it does now:** **Nothing.** This directive has been **cancelled**. The safety requirements that used to be in this directive are now handled by a different document — a \"Structural Integrity Program\" referenced in another directive (AD/F28/45).\n\n**Who it affects:** Owners and operators of Fokker F28 aircraft (a regional jet aircraft). They no longer need to follow this specific directive, but must instead follow the replacement requirements in AD/F28/45.\n\n**Why it matters:** Airworthiness Directives are legally binding safety instructions. When one is cancelled and replaced, operators need to know which rules currently apply so they stay compliant and keep their aircraft safe to fly."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-f28-28-amdt-2-main-landing-gear-side-stay-bracket-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-f28-28-amdt-2-main-landing-gear-side-stay-bracket-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-f28-28-amdt-2-main-landing-gear-side-stay-bracket-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-f28-28-amdt-2-main-landing-gear-side-stay-bracket-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-f28-28-amdt-2-main-landing-gear-side-stay-bracket-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-f28-28-amdt-2-main-landing-gear-side-stay-bracket-inspection/documents"}}
