Introduction

Introduction of Variable Inflation Pressure for Main Landing Gear Tires

To support operations from airfields with low pavement strength (Aircraft Classification Number – ACN ~20), Fokker Services has introduced a variable inflation pressure capability for the tires on the Menasco (currently Goodrich) Main Landing Gear (MLG) of F28 and Mk0070 aircraft.

This modification is detailed in Service Bulletin SBF100-32-165.

Note: The ACN methodology has been replaced by the Aircraft Classification Rating (ACR) system. Relevant performance and compatibility data can be found in Report TE-2822 in additional to the ACAP (Aircraft Classification and Airport Planning) manual.

This enhancement allows operators greater flexibility in deploying aircraft to airports with limited pavement load capacity, without compromising safety or structural integrity.


Your needs

Expand Operational Capability of the Fokker 70 to Airfields Typically Served by Turboprop Aircraft

Fokker Services enables the operation of the Fokker 70 on airfields traditionally limited to turboprop aircraft, thanks to performance and system adaptations such as variable tire inflation pressure and low pavement strength compatibility. These enhancements open new route opportunities and expand your network flexibility without compromising safety or efficiency.


Your benefits

Achieve Higher Utilization of Your Fokker 70 Fleet While Expanding Service to Remote and Underserved Airfields

By enabling operations from airfields typically restricted to turboprop aircraft, the Fokker 70 can now reach further and more remote destinations, allowing operators to maximize fleet utilization and offer improved regional connectivity and passenger service.
