2. Planning Information

A. Effectivity 

(1) F28 Mark 0070/0100 aircraft serial number(s): 

All 

B. Concurrent Requirements 

(1) Not applicable. 

C. Reason 

(1) Recently during the accomplishment of the taxi-out checklist ("before take-off 

check" as per AOM) on a Fokker 70 the flight crew noticed that the elevator 

movement was (partly) obstructed. 

(2) The subsequent investigation by the operator revealed that the flight control lock 

adjuster bracket was loose from the elevator tension control regulator. 

Rotation of the flight control lock adjuster bracket caused the blockage of the 

elevator mechanism. Two out of three attachment bolts were found broken and two 

nuts were missing. 

(3) The operator decided to perform a one-time inspection of their complete fleet. No 

further discrepancies (loose bolts, missing nut(s) or loose brackets) were identified. 

(4) The detailed investigation of the failed parts indicated that the two missing nuts are 

to be considered the main contributor to the occurrence. However, no root cause 

could be identified for the absence of these two parts. In order to safeguard the 

fleet on the short to medium term it has been decided to issue a one-time 

inspection Service Bulletin. 

D. Description 

(1) This Service Bulletin tells you how to: 

- Perform a one-time inspection of the elevator tension control regulator.

E. Compliance 

(1) Recommended 

Fokker Services recommends the accomplishment of the Service Bulletin at the 

next scheduled maintenance opportunity when panel 346AB or panel 346BL is 

opened for the performance of a scheduled MRB task but not later than 5000 FH 

from date of issue of this Service Bulletin. See NOTE 2 for details of the relevant 

scheduled maintenance task numbers. 

NOTE 1: It is expected that EASA will issue an Airworthiness Directive (AD) with 

respect to this subject with the same compliance terms. Refer to the 

EASA website for the publication of a Proposed Airworthiness Directive 

for comments.
