Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F27 Mark 050 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F27 Mark 050 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of the main landing gear (MLG) locklinks to determine if the lockwire that secures both platform bolts is in one piece and in position; and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent collapse of the MLG due to failure of the locklinks to lock in the down position.
