## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes. This proposal would require modification of the restraining systems of certain passenger seats by replacing anchor point fasteners with fasteners that are able to withstand required 16g load conditions. This proposal is prompted by a report indicating that the restraining systems on these seats failed to meet 16g test load requirements during dynamic testing. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent the fasteners from failing, which could result in release of the seat restraint and consequent injury to passengers.
