AD NUMBER: 2004-09-23
MANUFACTURER: Fokker
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2004-09-23
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to all Fokker Model F27 Mark 100, 200, 300, 400, 500,
600, and 700 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections
of the control panel of the direct current (DC) generator for
discrepancies, and replacement of any discrepant part. This action
is necessary to prevent loss of both DC generator systems and loss
of several other airplane systems, which could lead to the pilot's
inability to maintain controlled flight. This action is intended to
address the identified unsafe condition.
