Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Changes flight manuals and minimum-equipment lists for certain Fokker F27 Mk 50 aircraft. It requires operators to insert AFM amendment AFM/50-081, amend the Master Minimum Equipment List, and forbid dispatch with the total air temperature (TAT) indicator inoperative unless engine anti‑icing and ignition systems are on in visible moisture. Deadlines are set in the AD. The stated purpose is to reduce power‑loss risk in heavy rain and icing; compliance imposes procedural and equipment checks on operators and may require administrative updates to manuals.
