What this AD requires
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.
