Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13642 · McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-30 Airplane
McDonnell Douglas Model 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 certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-30 airplane, that requires an inspection of the power feeder cable assembly of the auxiliary power unit (APU) for chafing, correct type of clamps, and proper clamp installation; and corrective actions, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent the loss of the APU generator due to chafing of the generator power feeder cables, and consequent electrical arcing and smoke/fire in the APU compartment. 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.
