EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

AD No.: 2015-0032

Date: 24 February 2015

Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with Regulation 

(EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States and of the European 

third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 66 of that Regulation.

This AD is issued in accordance with EU 748/2012, Part 21.A.3B. In accordance with EU 1321/2014 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the continuing 

airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person may operate an aircraft to 

which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD, unless otherwise specified by the Agency [EU 1321/2014 

Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [EC 216/2008, Article 14(4) exemption].

Design Approval Holder’s Name:

FOKKER SERVICES B.V.

Type/Model designation(s):

F28 aeroplanes

TCDS Number: EASA.A.037

Foreign AD: Not applicable

Supersedure: None

ATA 05 Time Limits / Maintenance Checks – ALS Part 3 – Fuel Airworthiness 

Limitations – Implementation

Manufacturer(s): Fokker Aircraft B.V.

Applicability: F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 aeroplanes, all serial numbers.

Reason: Fokker Services published issue 5 of Engineering Report SE-672, containing Fuel 

Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALIs) and Critical Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). This report is Part 3 of the Airworthiness Limitations 

Section (ALS Part 3) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, referred to in 

Section 06, Appendix 1, of the Fokker 70/100 Maintenance Review Board (MRB) 

document.

The complete ALS currently consists of:

Part 1 - Report SE-473, Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs),

Part 2 - Report SE-623, ALIs and Safe Life Items (SLIs), and

Part 3 - Report SE-672, Fuel ALIs and CDCCLs.

The instructions contained in those reports have been identified as mandatory 

actions for continued airworthiness. 

For the reasons described above, this AD requires implementation of the 

maintenance actions as specified in ALS Part 3 of the Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness, Fokker Services Engineering Report SE-672 at issue 5.

Effective Date: 10 March 2015

Required Action(s) 

and Compliance

Time(s):

Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously:

(1) From the effective date of this AD, accomplish all applicable maintenance 

tasks described in, and within the thresholds and intervals as specified in,

Fokker Services Engineering Report SE-672 at issue 5, hereafter referred to 

as ‘ALS Part 3’.

(2) If, during accomplishment of any task as required by paragraph (1) of this AD, 

any discrepancies (as defined in ALS Part 3) are found, within the applicable 

compliance time specified in ALS Part 3, accomplish the applicable 

maintenance procedures for corrective actions in accordance with the 

approved maintenance documentation. If no compliance time is identified in 

ALS Part 3, accomplish the applicable corrective actions before next flight. If a 

detected discrepancy is not identified in ALS Part 3, before next flight, contact 

Fokker Services for approved instructions and accomplish those instructions 

accordingly.

(3) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, revise the approved 

aircraft maintenance programme (AMP), on the basis of which the operator or 

the owner ensures the continuing airworthiness of each operated aeroplane, 

by incorporating the tasks and associated thresholds and intervals described 

in ALS Part 3, as applicable to the aeroplane configuration.

(4) For an AMP that, on the effective date of this AD, is already updated to 

incorporate the maintenance tasks as specified in Fokker Services 

Engineering Report SE-672 at issue 4, the new and/or more restrictive tasks, 

as defined in ALS Part 3, must be incorporated into the AMP to comply with 

paragraph (3) of this AD.

(5) Compliance with the requirements of paragraph (3) constitutes compliance 

with the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this AD. After revising the 

AMP, as required by paragraph (3) or (4) of this AD, as applicable, it is not 

necessary that accomplishment of individual tasks is recorded for 

demonstration of AD compliance on a continued basis.

Note: For affected Fokker F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 aeroplanes registered in 

Europe, complying with the approved AMP as specified in paragraph (3) of this 

AD is required by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, Part M.A.301, 

paragraph 3.

(6) Compliance with the requirements of paragraph (3) also constitutes 

compliance with the requirements of EASA AD 2014-0224, when related to 

tasks described in Fokker Services Engineering Report SE-672 at issue 4.

the requirements of this AD.
