Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13404 · McDonnell Douglas MD-90-30 Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas MD-90-30 Airplanes
Model MD-90-30 airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD90-24A081, Revision 01, dated March 7, 2003; 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 of the circuit breakers to determine if discrepant circuit breakers are installed, and corrective action if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent internal overheating and arcing of circuit breakers and airplane wiring due to long-term use and breakdown of internal components of the circuit breakers, which could result in smoke and fire in the flight compartment and main cabin. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
