## 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 the replacement of certain attachment screws on the leading edges of the left and right wings with longer screws. This proposal is prompted by reports indicating that these screws had become loose. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent loosening or loss of the screws, which could lead to loosening or loss of the leading edge of the wing, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
