Airworthiness Directives; Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH Models 228-100, 
228-101, 228-200, and 228-201 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of Airworthiness 
Directive (AD) 98-06-13 which applies to Models 228-100, 228-101, 228-
200, and 228-201 airplanes equipped with certain main landing gear 
(MLG). AD 98-06-13 requires replacing the MLG axle assembly with an MLG 
axle assembly of improved design. This AD was the result of mandatory 
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness 
authority for Germany. The actions specified in this AD are intended to 
prevent main landing gear failure, which, if not corrected, could 
result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.

DATES: Effective June 15, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Karl M. Schletzbaum, Aerospace 
Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service, 1201 Walnut, suite 900, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; 
telephone: (816) 426-6934; facsimile: (816) 426-2169.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule 
with request for comments in the Federal Register on March 16, 1998 (63 
FR 12605). The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure for a 
non-controversial rule where the FAA anticipates that there will be no 
adverse public comment. This direct final rule advised the public that 
no adverse comments were anticipated, and that unless a written adverse 
comment, or a written notice of intent to submit such an adverse 
comment, were received within the comment period, the regulation would 
become effective on June 15, 1998. No adverse comments were received, 
and thus this notice confirms that this final rule will become 
effective on that date.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on April 17, 1998.
James A. Jackson,
Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
