Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12689 · McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Airplanes
Model MD-90-30 airplanes, certificated in any category; as listed in McDonnell Douglas Alert Service Bulletin MD90-30A017, Revision 02, dated September 26, 2000.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes, that requires replacement of the existing strake feed-thru and internal electrical connectors with new, moisture-resistant connectors. This action is necessary to prevent moisture from entering the strake feed- thru and internal electrical connectors, which could lead to electrical arcing and a consequent fire in the electrical and electronic (E/E) compartment of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
