2. Planning Information

A. Effectivity 

(1) F28 Mark 0070/0100 aircraft serial numbers: 

11244 thru 11585. 

NOTE: Aircraft serial number 11577 already incorporated this Service Bulletin 

and does not require a re-inspection. 

B. Concurrent Requirements 

(1) Not applicable. 

C. Reason 

(1) Service experience has shown that cracking can occur in the secondary structure 

of the aircraft at the rib of wing station 8700 (p/n D15445-013/-014 or lower dash 

number) in the wing trailing edge section. A one-time inspection is required to 

investigate if cracks have occurred on Rib 8700. 

(2) The reason for this decision is the integrity of the aileron control. The hydraulic 

actuator assembly, hydraulic lines, the cable pulleys, the anti-upfloat quadrant and 

the associated mechanical linkages including flutter dampers are all positioned in 

the area between wing stations 8200 and 9270. The aileron cable pulley assembly 

is located precisely in the opening of rib 8700. In case the rib fails unpredictable 

aileron control effects cannot be excluded. 

(3) If cracks are found during the accomplishment of this Service Bulletin a repair has 

to be accomplished before further flight. Contact Fokker Services BV for corrective 

actions. Depending on the crack length continued revenue operation can be 

permitted with a dedicated inspection interval. 

D. Description 

(1) This Service Bulletin tells you how to: 

- Gain access to the trailing edge section at the rib of wing station 8700 

- Inspect the trailing edge rib at wing station 8700 for cracks on both wings 

- Contact Fokker Services in case cracks are found to determine repair action 

procedure 

- Close up the work area.
