Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13058 · McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-03-05, AD 2005-09-08. Comply with the one in force.
Model MD-90-30 airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD90-24A074, Revision 01, dated August 8, 2001; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes, that requires a one-time general visual inspection to find wire chafing damage and to determine adequate clearance between the disconnect panel structure and the wires above the aft left lavatory; and corrective actions, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent damage to certain wires due to contact between the wires and the adjacent structure, which could result in electrical arcing and consequent smoke and fire in the cabin. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
