AD 2021-19-06 Requires Inspecting Certain Carbon Brake Assemblies And Corrective Actions If Necessary
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-02-13, which applied to certain Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH (type certificate currently held by RUAG Aerospace Services GmbH) Model Dornier 228-212 airplanes.
AD 2007-02-13 required inspecting the landing gear carbon brake assembly. This AD requires inspecting certain carbon brake assemblies and corrective actions if necessary. This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as loose bolts and nuts on the landing gear carbon brake assembly. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is effective October 15, 2021.
