Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10790 · Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes
Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes
Model 328-100 series airplanes, as listed in Dornier Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-24-021, dated November 25, 1997; or Dornier Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-24-018, dated August 5, 1997; 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 of direct current (DC) power unit 1VE to determine whether electrical connections are correctly installed and stud nuts are correctly torqued, and corrective actions, if necessary. For certain airplanes, this amendment also requires replacement of the existing DC power unit 1VE with a modified DC power unit. 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 overheating of electrical connections, which could result in electrical arcing and consequent fire.
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.
