## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 series airplanes. This proposal would require installation of reinforcement plates under each hook latch fitting on the frame of each large cargo door. For some airplanes, this proposal would require inspection to detect cracking in the area around each hook latch fitting, and repair, if necessary. This proposal is prompted by the results of stress analyses and destructive tests which revealed that fatigue-related cracking may develop in the vicinity of the hook latch fittings on the frame of the large cargo doors. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent reduced structural integrity of the frames of the cargo door due to fatigue cracking, which may lead to the cargo door(s) opening while the airplane is in flight.
