Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes. It requires a one-time inspection to verify the correct routing and tension of the flight control lock cables and the elevator control cables, and rerouting or adjustment of the tension of these cables, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that an inspection for correct routing and tension of those cables may not have been accomplished during modification of the airplanes at the factory. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent incorrect routing and tension of the flight control lock cables and the elevator control cables, which could result in inadvertent disconnection of those cables, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
