Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17849 · Time limits
Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH Airplanes
This AD applies to Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH Dornier Models 228-100, 228-101, 228-200, 228-201, 228-202, and 228-212 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2006-11-19 for Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH Model Dornier 228-100, 228-101, 228-200, 228- 201, 228-202, and 228-212 airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as chafed or damaged wiring on the flight deck overhead panels (5VE and 6VE). We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(3) of this AD:
(1) Within the next 600 hours time-in-service (TIS) after July 28, 2014 (the effective date of this AD) or within the next 12 months after July 28, 2014 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, and repetitively thereafter at intervals not to exceed 600 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs first, inspect the wiring in the flight deck overhead panels, 5VE and 6VE, for chafing, damage, and/or incorrect installation (wire tie attachment holders). For the inspection, refer to:
