February 2005 or SB F100-32-111; or later EASA approved revisions.

                Irrespective of the results, within 7 calendar days after each inspection as required by Requirements 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this Directive, report all findings to Fokker Services using the questionnaire attached to Fokker Services
                SBF100-32-146.

             Note:  CAA-NL AD NL-2006-003 refers.
Compliance:     1. Within the next 2,000 flight cycles since the last inspection in accordance with Messier-Dowty SB F100-32-106 and Fokker Services SBF100-32-141, as required by AD NL-2005-002 (AD/F100/64), or within the next 4 months after 13 April 2006, whichever occurs later.

                2. Within 4,000 flight cycles since new (installation) or rework, as applicable.

                3. At intervals not to exceed 2,000 flight cycles.

                4. Within 4,000 flight cycles since new (installation) or rework, as applicable, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 2,000 flight cycles.

                5. As of the effective date of this Directive.
             This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 13 April 2006.
Background:  Two cases have been reported of Fokker 100 aircraft, being moved backward for maintenance, suffering failure of a Main Landing Gear Main Fitting upon brake application.  CAA-NL previously issued AD 2002-115/2 and NL-2005-002 to prevent and remedy this problem.  Both ADs still apply and require one-time inspections, an AFM change and the introduction of a placard that prohibit application of the brakes during any backwards movement of the aircraft.  This Directive requires the introduction of a repetitive inspection for cracks and rework, as necessary.
