AD/F100/94  Passenger Door Actuator Attachment  4/2009

Applicability:  Model F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 aircraft, all serial numbers, if equipped with an 'Airstair' type door with a passenger door actuator having a following part number:

                A26900-401, A82936-701, A82936-705, R5320, R5320-1, R5320-12, W26900-401, W53200-401, W53200-403 or W53200-405.
Requirement:    Action in accordance with the requirements of EASA AD 2009-0026.

                Note:  Fokker Services SBF100-52-087 original issue, and Fokker Services CSB R5320-52-011 original issue, or later EASA approved revisions, refer.
Compliance:     As specified in the Requirement document, with a revised effective date of
                9 April 2009.
                This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 9 April 2009.
Background:     Several cases have been reported where a passenger door actuator detached from the passenger door, which allowed the door to drop in an uncontrolled manner.  This condition, if not corrected, could result in injury to personnel on the ground and damage to the aircraft.  Improvements are introduced to the passenger door actuator attachment to the aircraft and to the passenger door.
