### ATA 27 Flight Controls – Tab-to-Actuator Linkage – Reduced Inspection Intervals

Manufacturer(s): Dornier Luftfahr t GmbH; Fairchild-Dornier Gm bH; AvCraft Aerospace GmbH

Applicability: Model 328-100 aeroplanes, all serial numbers Model 328-300 aeroplanes, all serial numbers

Reason: Based on in-service experience, the Sy stem Safety Analyses for the Flight Controls have been reviewed and their conclusions have been accepted during the latest Candidate Maintenance Coordination Committee meeting. This review resulted in re duced inspection intervals, sp ecifically for the flight controls tab-to-actuator linkage CMR** repetitive inspections, which have been identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness. Failure of these components or their constituent parts could lead to reduced control of the aeroplane. Consistent with the EASA policy to require compliance with any new and reduced airworthiness limitations by taking AD action and for the reasons described above, this EASA AD requires the accomplishment of the reducedinterval repetitive inspections and, depending on findings, related corrective action(s). In addition, this AD requir es the implementation of the affected reduced inspection intervals and associated corrective actions into the operator’s approved maintenance programme.
