1. For airplanes that accumulated 32,000 landings or more as of August 18, 1989 (the effective date of Amendment 39-6284, AD 89-17-02), inspect within 2 days after August 18, 1989.

2. For airplanes that have accumulated fewer than 32,000 landings as of August 18, 1989, inspect within 60 days after August 18, 1989, or prior to the accumulation of 20,000 landings, whichever occurs later.

B. Repeat the inspections required by paragraph A. of this AD at intervals not to exceed 1,000 landings.

C. If cracks are found, repair prior to further flight, in accordance with Part 2 of Fokker Service Bulletin F28/53-A94, Revision 1, dated July 5, 1989. After repair, continue to inspect in accordance with Part 1 of the service bulletin, at intervals not to exceed 1,000 landings.

NOTE: The request should be submitted directly to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM- 113, and a copy sent to the cognizant FAA Principal Inspector (PI). The PI will then forward comments or concurrence to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

F. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.
