This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of Dornier 328‑100 aircraft (serial numbers 3005–3095) to adjust the rudder pedals in line with LBA AD 1998‑289 (see Dornier ASB‑328‑27‑023) so pedal forces during single‑engine operations comply with JAA/FAA limits (Requirement; Applicability). Compliance had to be completed by 31 March 2006; the AD took effect 16 March 2006 (Compliance; effective date). Operators bear the cost of the adjustment; CASA (via its delegate) mandated the action and operators must follow the referenced technical procedure.
