Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13601 · Dornier Model 328-100 and Model 328-300 Series Airplanes
Dornier Model 328-100 and Model 328-300 Series Airplanes
Model 328-100 and -300 series airplanes, equipped with B/E Aerospace passenger seats, Model part number (P/N) 2524.519-.() and Model P/N 2524.520-.(); certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 and Model 328-300 series airplanes, that requires repetitive detailed inspections of all attach caps of the passenger seats for cracks or defects; and replacement of the caps with new caps, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent failure due to cracking of the seat frame attach caps on the passenger seat assemblies, which could result in separation of the passenger seat from the supporting structure during an emergency landing, hard landing, or turbulence, and consequent injury to the seat occupant. 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.
