Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13306 · Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 Series Airplanes
Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 Series Airplanes
Model 328-100 series airplanes having serial numbers 3005 through 3119 inclusive, and Model 328-300 series airplanes having serial numbers 3105 through 3200 inclusive; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 series airplanes, that requires inspection of the nose landing gear (NLG) and main landing gear (MLG) to ensure that certain bolts are in place; repetitive inspections of the bolts and bolt areas for evidence of corrosion; and corrective action, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the NLG or MLG due to corroded or missing bolts, which could cause loss of connection pins, and consequent collapse of the landing gear during ground maneuvers or upon landing. 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.
