This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of certain Dornier 328-100 aeroplanes fitted with ARC cockpit seat restraint P/N 1180002-403-100 (serials 0101–0315, 0328–0329) to carry out corrective action specified in LBA AD 97-001 to secure the centre fixing screw of the cockpit seat belt release buckle. CASA set the directive effective 16 March 2006 with compliance due by 31 March 2006 because contamination may have prevented loctite curing and allowed the screw to loosen, risking buckle inoperation.
