Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12313 · The Boeing Company Airplanes
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to The Boeing Company DC-10-30, DC-10-30F (KC-10A, KDC-10).
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-30 series airplanes modified by Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST00054SE, that requires removal of the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system installed by that STC. This action is necessary to prevent inability of the flight crew to remove power from the IFE system when necessary. Inability to remove power from the IFE system during a non-normal or emergency situation could result in inability to control smoke or fumes in the airplane flight deck or cabin. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
