Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected within specified compliance times or before the next flight if no time is given.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0027 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Fokker F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated Airworthiness Limitations Items and Safe Life Items as specified in Fokker Services Engineering Report SE-623 issue 21. The directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring operators to implement maintenance tasks and life limits according to the latest approved instructions.
What changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2020-0024 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits contained in the latest issue 21 of Fokker Services Engineering Report SE-623. It retains previous requirements while updating thresholds and intervals for maintenance actions to enhance safety. Editorial changes from issue 20 are not considered significant, but issue 21 includes mandatory updates.
Why it matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0027 is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to ensure the safe continued operation of affected Fokker F28 aircraft. Failure to implement the updated maintenance tasks and life limits could lead to unsafe conditions. The directive also streamlines record-keeping by allowing AMP revisions to demonstrate ongoing compliance, reducing administrative burden.
