Abstract
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F28 Mark 0100 and 0070 series airplanes, that currently requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to include information that will enable the flightcrew to identify failures of the emergency direct current (DC)/alternating current (AC) bus power supply and to take appropriate corrective actions. This amendment requires a new terminating modification for the existing AFM revisions. This amendment also requires a new AFM revision to inform the flightcrew that, under certain conditions, an ``EMER DC BUS'' warning on the multi-function display unit (MFDU) will occur, and to take appropriate corrective actions. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failures of the emergency DC/AC bus power supply, which could reduce the ability of the flightcrew to control the airplane.
