Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13110 · McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 Airplane
McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 Airplane
Model DC-10-30 airplane, fuselage number 0106, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to a single McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-30 airplane, that requires repetitive tests for electrical continuity and resistance and repetitive inspections to detect discrepancies of the fuel boost/ transfer pump connectors; and corrective actions, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent arcing of connectors in the fuel boost/ transfer pump circuit, which could result in a fire or explosion of the fuel tank. 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.
