| Requirement: | Action in accordance with the requirements of EASA AD 2009-0018.Note: Fokker Services Service Bulletin SBF50-32-039 original issue, or later EASA approved revision, and Messier Dowty Service Bulletin SB F50-32-62 original issue, or later EASA approved revision, refer. |

| This Amendment becomes effective on 9 April 2009. | |
| Background: | A report was received of an over-extended main landing gear sliding member after landing. Investigation revealed that an end stop had unscrewed, and that no lockwire was present on the two lockbolts which hold the end stop. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to structural damage of the main gear and loss of control of the aircraft during the landing roll.Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new EASA AD. This EASA AD supersedes the previous CAA-NL AD because a change in EASA AD policy now allows the issue of Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness action to require correction of unsafe conditions, resulting from production and/or maintenance deficiencies. There is no change to the technical requirements of this Directive. |
