Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive applies to owners/operators of Fokker F100 aeroplanes (serials 11244–11408) fitted with small cargo door hinges P/N A28410-405 or A28410-407. It mandates repetitive inspections of the fuselage-mounted hinge half for stress-corrosion cracking at least every six years, immediate grounding and replacement with improved hinge P/N D28410-409 if cracks are found, and reporting of inspection results to the manufacturer. It prevents hinge failure that could compromise cargo-door integrity in flight.
