Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12537 · McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10, -15, -30, -30F (KC-10A and KDC-10 Military), and -40 Series Airplanes; and Model MD-10-10F Series Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10, -15, -30, -30F (KC-10A and KDC-10 Military), and -40 Series Airplanes; and Model MD-10-10F Series Airplanes
Model DC-10-10, -15, -30, -30F (KC-10A and KDC-10 military), and -40 series airplanes; and Model MD-10-10F series airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin DC10-24A130, Revision 01, dated March 12, 2001; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10, -15, -30, -30F (KC-10A and KDC-10 military), and -40 series airplanes; and Model MD- 10-10F series airplanes, that requires an inspection to verify that the wire connections at circuit breakers are properly connected, and correction of any incorrect wire connection at the circuit breakers. This amendment is necessary to prevent loss of protection by the circuit breakers in the flight engineer's equipment panel due to improperly wired connections at the circuit breakers, which could result in wire damage and could lead to smoke and/or fire in the cockpit. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
