The review conducted by Fokker Services on the Fokker F 27 design in response to these regulations identified a number of Fuel Airworthines s Limitation items (ALI) and Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL) items to prevent the development of unsafe conditions within the fuel system

. To introduce these Fuel ALI and CDCCL items
, Fokker Services published Service Bulletin (SB) F27/28

, requiring the implementation of these Fuel ALI and CDCCL items. That AD was later revised to make reference to SBF27

- 28

- 07 0 R1 and to specify that the use of later SB revisions w as acceptable. In 2014, Fokker Services issued Revision 2 of SBF27

- 28

- 07 0 to update the Fuel ALI and CDCCL items and to consolidate Fuel ALI and CDCCL items contained in a number of other SBs. Consequently, EASA issued AD 2014

- 0105, superseding AD 2006

- 0207R1 and requiring the implementation of the updated Fuel ALI and CDCCL items.
Since that AD was issued
, Fokker Service s issued Revision 3 of SBF2 7
