Design and development

The 328 (or Do 328) program was initially begun while Dornier was still owned by Deutsche Aerospace. The basic 328 first flew on 6 December 1991, and entered commercial service in October 1993. The 328's new fuselage allowed for comfortable 3-abreast seating, with the potential for a 4-abreast configuration. Combined with the supercritical wing developed from Dornier's Do 228, this gave the 328 excellent cruise and climb capabilities. However, the 328 entered a market crowded with other competiting turboprop aircraft at the time, as well as increasing competition from new regional jets in the early 1990's.[1] Luftwaffe Tornado ECR Deutsche Aerospace AG Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG Founded May 19, 1989 as Deutsche Aerospace AG, bundling space and aeronautic elements of Daimler-Benz (including Dornier Luftfahrt), Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB), MTU München, and Telefunken Systemtechnik (TST) In 1992, the helicopter division was... is the 340th day of the year (341st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 2005, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) awarded a contract to AeroRescue for the provision of five 328-120 to enhance Search and Rescue (SAR) within the Australian SAR Region.[citation needed] The five aircraft have been progressively commissioned with the last one to be commissioned February 2007 in Brisbane. They are stationed around Australia to provide rapid response to a SAR Mission. The aircraft have been fitted with electronic sensors to detect objects in both the Maritime and Land environments including; Israel Aerospace Industries ELTA EL/M 2022A Radar, FSI Star SAFire III Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR), and an ARGON ST Infra Red/Ultra Violet scanner.[citation needed] Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is responsible, on behalf of the Commonwealth Government of Australia, for the regulation and safety oversight of Australias shipping fleet and management of Australias international maritime obligations. ...
