Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This directive requires operators of Fokker F27 aircraft to inspect two specific parts of the elevator — the inboard trim tab hinge bracket and the control bracket.

Who it affects: Anyone operating or maintaining Fokker F27 series aircraft.

Why it matters: Reports indicated that installation stresses (from previous maintenance work) were causing severe vibration and damage to these brackets during flight. This inspection checks for that damage to prevent potential loss of aircraft control or structural failure.

How to comply: The inspection must be carried out exactly as described in Fokker Service Bulletin F27/55-56 (a technical manual from the aircraft manufacturer).
