Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection to verify correct installation of the lockplates of the roll spoiler actuators, and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this 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.
