Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of listed Fokker F100 (F28 Mk.100) aeroplanes to inspect the engine-mount shear shelf webs near the fixed-cowl mid and aft hook centrelines, reinforce those areas per Fokker Service Bulletin F100-71-012, and repair any cracks per the Structural Repair Manual. Operators must complete the inspection/reinforcement before the aeroplane reaches 12,000 flight hours; any cracks found must be repaired before further flight. The operator bears the cost and schedules maintenance to meet the flight-hour deadline.

This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 22 April 1999.

Background: Interference has been found to be possible between the fixed cowl mid and aft hooks and the engine mount shear shelf web. Aside from a noticeable increase in vibration and noise, this interference can cause cracks and other damage to the shear shelf web. This in turn affects fatigue life. This AD requires the affected areas to be inspected and subsequently reinforced.
