Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14139 · AvCraft Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 Airplanes
AvCraft Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 Airplanes
This AD applies to AvCraft Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 series airplanes, certificated in any category; as identified in Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328J-27-176, Revision 1, dated April 15, 2003; and Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-27-436, Revision 1, dated April 15, 2003; as applicable.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain AvCraft Dornier Model 328-100 and -300 airplanes. This AD requires operators to install colored identification strips on the pulley brackets, fairlead bracket assemblies, operational assemblies, and flight control cables. This AD is prompted by a report that the flight control systems do not have elements that are distinctively identified. We are issuing this AD to prevent the incorrect re-assembly of the flight control system during maintenance, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD, install colored identification strips on the pulley brackets, fairlead bracket assemblies, operational assemblies, and flight control cables, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328J-27-176, Revision 1, dated April 15, 2003; or Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-27-436, Revision 1, dated April 15, 2003; as applicable.
Prior to or concurrently with the accomplishment of the actions in paragraph (f) of this AD, accomplish the actions in the applicable service bulletins listed in Table 1 of this AD.
