Models named: 328-100 series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
All Model 328-100 series airplanes, certificated in any category. Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.
Compliance
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent failure of the pilot's control cables for the autopilot, elevator, rudder, aileron, and engine, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane, accomplish the following: Inspections and Corrective Actions (a) Prior to the accumulation of 3,000 total flight hours, or within 200 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later: Perform detailed visual inspections to detect damage (extensive wear and broken wires) and discrepancies (incorrect installation and misalignment) of the control cables and fairleads/swivel guides for the autopilot, elevator, rudder, aileron, and engine; as applicable; in accordance with Dornier Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-00-011, Revision 1, dated June 5, 1996. Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed 1,500 flight hours. (1) If any damage is found that exceeds the limits specified in the alert service bulletin, prior to further flight, replace the damaged cable with a new or serviceable cable, in accordance with the alert service bulletin. (2) If any discrepancy is found, prior to further flight, perform applicable corrective actions, in accordance with the alert service bulletin. Tension Adjustment of Control Cables (b) Concurrent with the initial inspection required by paragraph (a) of this AD, perform a one-time adjustment of the tension in the autopilot control cables, in accordance with Dornier Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-00-011, Revision 1, dated June 5, 1996. Alternative Methods of Compliance (c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116. Note 2: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the International Branch, ANM-116. Special Flight Permits (d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. Incorporation by Reference (e) The actions shall be done in accordance with Dornier Alert Service Bulletin ASB-328-00-011, Revision 1, dated June 5, 1996.
