Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13084 · Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 Series Airplanes
Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 Series Airplanes
Airplanes listed in the following table of this AD, certificated in any category: Table.--Applicability Model Serial Nos. 328-100 series airplanes.................. 3005 through 3119 inclusive. 328-300 series airplanes.................. 3105 through 3223 inclusive.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 series airplanes, that requires replacement of certain flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) impact switches with certain new impact switches. This action is necessary to prevent the loss of data recorded on the FDR and CVR, which, in the event of an accident, could result in the inability to retrieve data from the FDR and CVR during the accident investigation. This loss of data could hinder the identification of the unsafe condition which caused the accident, and prevent the FAA from developing and mandating actions to prevent additional accidents caused by that same unsafe condition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
