## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Fokker Model F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 series airplanes, that requires a one-time visual inspection to detect cracking of the brake torque tube lever, and corrective action, if necessary. 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 failure of the brake torque tube lever, which could result in a disconnection between the brake pedal and brake system, and consequent reduced directional controllability of the airplane during landing.
