### ATA 76 Engine Controls – Power Lever Control Box – Modification

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

Applicability: Model 328-100 aeroplanes, all serial numbers

Reason: Several runway excursion incidents and a single accident have occurred in the past with Dornier 328-100 aeroplanes, where the power lever could not be operated as intended during the landing roll- out. This situation has resulted in a safety record below the desirable standard. Recurrence of such an event under similar conditions, if not corrected, could result in further cases of runway excurs ion, possibly resulting in damage to the aeroplane and injury to the occupants. A modification to the power lever control box has been designed to prevent further power lever handling difficulties. For the reasons described above, this AD requires a modification of the power lever control box as a retrofit for the entire fleet of 328-100 aeroplanes.
