## The airworthiness directive

93-05-19 FOKKER: Amendment 39-8523. Docket 92-NM-193-AD. Applicability: Model F-27 series airplanes, serial numbers 10102 through 10259, inclusive; on which the inspection described in Service Bulletin F27/53-60 (B-156) Part II has not been accomplished; certificated in any category.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.

To prevent reduced structural integrity of the wings, accomplish the following:

  (a) Prior to the accumulation of 2,700 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD or within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs earlier, perform a one-time visual inspection to determine whether bolts and screws of proper length have been installed in the outboard wing attachment fittings of the fuselage main frame at stations 7961 and 9439.5, in accordance with Fokker Service Bulletin F27/53-115, dated May 21, 1991.

  (1) If any measured bolt or screw is found that protrudes more than 4.5 mm (0.177 inch) through the nut, prior to further flight, replace it with a shorter one, in accordance with the service bulletin.

  (2) If no measured bolt or screw is found that protrudes more than 4.5 mm (0.177 inch) through the nut, no further action is necessary.

  (b) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

NOTE: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

  (c) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.

  (d) The inspection and replacement shall be done in accordance with Fokker Service Bulletin F27/53-115, dated May 21, 1991. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.
