REGULATORY TEXT:  
97-06-07 R1 DORNIER: Amendment 39-10178. Docket 97-NM-84-AD. Revises AD 97-06-07, Amendment 39-9964.

Applicability: Model 328-100 series airplanes equipped with Burns Aerospace Corporation commuter seat models JB6.8-1-22 and JB6.8-2-42 passenger seats having serial numbers up to and including 384616; certificated in any category.

NOTE 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been otherwise 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 (b) 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 anchor point fasteners on the seat restraining system, which could result in release of the seat restraint and consequent injury to passengers, accomplish the following:

(a) Within 60 days after April 18, 1997 (the effective date of AD 97-06-07, amendment 39-9964), replace each anchor point fastener on the restraining system of each seat with a fastener of improved design, in accordance with Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-25-114, dated July 10, 1995, or Revision 1, dated April 17, 1997.

NOTE 2: The referenced Dornier service bulletin refers to Burns Aerospace Corporation Service Bulletin 25-20-989, Revision B, dated June 14, 1995, or Revision D, dated August 25, 1995, as an additional source of service information for identifying the affected seats and replacing the anchor point fasteners on their restraining systems.

(b) 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, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, 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, Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

NOTE 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

(c) 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.

(d) The replacement shall be done in accordance with Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-25-114, dated July 10, 1995, or Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-25-114, Revision 1, dated April 17, 1997.

(1) The incorporation by reference of Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-25-114, Revision 1, dated April 17, 1997, is approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.

(2) The incorporation by reference of Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-25-114, dated July 10, 1995, was approved previously by the Director of the Federal Register as of April 18, 1997 (62 FR 12081, March 14, 1997).

(3) Copies may be obtained from Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH, P.O. Box 1103, D-82230 Wessling, Germany. Copies may be inspected at the FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington; or at the Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, DC.

NOTE 4: The subject of this AD is addressed in German airworthiness directive 95-240/2, dated August 10, 1995.
