Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Owners/operators and maintainers of Fokker F27 aircraft in Australia must inspect the nose landing‑gear down‑lock latch against the profile in Dowty Rotol SB 32‑37 (Sept 1962) or drawing 200061330 and replace any non‑conforming latch before flight. The inspection is required within 300 flight hours after 30 Dec 1977 unless already done after 1 Oct 1977. This prevents nose‑gear failure and potential collapse during landing or taxiing.
