Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16962 · Engine controls
328 Support Services GmbH (Type Certificate Previously Held by AvCraft Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Airplanes
This AD applies to 328 Support Services GmbH (Type Certificate previously held by AvCraft Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Model 328-100 airplanes; all serial numbers; certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 328 Support Services GmbH (Type Certificate Previously Held by AvCraft Aerospace GmbH; Fairchild Dornier GmbH; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH) Model 328-100 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by several runway excursion incidents and a single accident where the power lever could not be operated as intended during the landing roll-out on Model Dornier 328-100 airplanes. This proposed AD would require a modification of the engine control box assembly. We are proposing this AD to prevent runway excursion, which could result in damage to the airplane and injury to the occupants.
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 15 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the engine control box assembly with additional aural alerting function and a revised power lever guiding gate, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of 328 Support Services Service Bulletin SB-328-76-486, Revision 3, dated April 7, 2010.
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.
