AD 2001-04-04 Amendment 39-12122

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Dornier Luftfahrt GMBH (Dornier) Models 228-100, 228- 101, 228-200, 228-201, 228-202, and 228-212 airplanes that have windshield spray nozzle option SCN 3109 installed. This AD requires you to deactivate the windshield spray nozzle heating elements. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the windshield spray nozzle heating system from overheating, which could result in smoke in the cockpit and prompt the crew to initiate emergency actions.
