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 verify correct installation of the lockplates of the roll spoiler actuators, and corrective actions, if necessary. This proposal is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent fatigue cracking of the fork flanges of the roll spoiler actuators due to incorrect installation of the lockplates, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the components of the roll spoiler actuators, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
