Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10391 · Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH Models 228-100, 228-101, 228-200, and 228-201 Airplanes
Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH Models 228-100, 228-101, 228-200, and 228-201 Airplanes
Models 228-100, 228-101, 228-200, and 228-201 (all serial numbers) airplanes, certificated in any category, equipped with a main landing gear (MLG) axle housing assembly that has part numbers (P/N) A-511000D00F, A-521000D00F, A-511000E00F, and A-521000E00F (or FAA-approved equivalent part numbers).
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH (Dornier) Models 228-100, 228- 101, 228-200, and 228-201 airplanes equipped with certain main landing gear (MLG). This action requires replacing the MLG axle assembly with an MLG axle assembly of improved design. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent main landing gear failure, which, if not corrected, could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
