Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13184 · Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes
Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes
Model 328-100 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as listed in Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-27-298, Revision 1, dated November 21, 2002.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes. This action requires installation of retainers instead of washers in the upper and lower torsion bars of the rudder tab. This action is necessary to prevent a spring tab torsion bar from slipping through its retaining adapters, which could result in a loose spring tab; the loss of both tension springs could allow the spring tab to flutter and result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified 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.
