            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 22 April 1999.

            Background: During fatigue tests on the F.28 Mk.0100, cracks were found in the area of the avionics cooling outlet valve fitting. This AD requires a modification to prevent cracks developing in service and to improve the fatigue life of the affected structure to above 45,000 flight cycles.
