Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10618 · Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes
Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes
Model 328-100 series airplanes equipped with circuit breaker panels 10VE up to and including serial number 131, and 11VE up to and including serial number 133; and Model 328-100 series airplanes, serial numbers 3005 through 3095 inclusive; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection to detect discrepancies of circuit breaker panels 10VE and 11VE; follow-on corrective actions; modification of the contact points; and installation of a high capacity fuse. This amendment also requires replacement of power relays 32HB and 36HB on relay panel 22VE with new parts. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent electrical short circuits of the contact points and power relays on the circuit breaker panels, which could result in increased risk of smoke and fire damage in the flight compartment.
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.
