EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE 

AD No.: 2009-0196 

Date: 04 September 2009 

Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with 

Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States and of 

the European third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 66 of that 

Regulation 

This AD is issued in accordance with EC 1702/2003, Part 21A.3B. In accordance with EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the 

continuing airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person may operate an 

aircraft to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD unless otherwise specified by the Agency [EC 

2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [EC 216/2008, Article 14(4) exemption]. 

Type Approval Holder’s Name :

Type/Model designation(s) : 

328-100 aeroplanes 

TCDS Number : EASA.A.096 

Foreign AD : Not applicable 

Supersedure : None 

ATA 76 Engine Controls – Power Lever Control Box – Modification 

Manufacturer(s): Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH; Fairchild-Dornier GmbH; 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 excursion, 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. 

Effective Date: 30 September 2009
