## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time general visual inspection for proper rigging of the liftdumper micro switches installed in the left- and right-hand sides of the pedestal; a functional check of the micro switches; and re-rigging the cam, if necessary. This action is necessary to detect and correct improper rigging of the liftdumper micro switches, which could result in inadvertent extension of the liftdumpers during takeoff roll. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
