Airworthiness Directives; Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time inspection to determine if the rigging bushings in the rudder control system protrude above the surface of the flange in which they are installed, and replacement of any discrepant bushing with a new bushing. This proposal is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent jamming in the rudder control system, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
