Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15113 · McDonnell Douglas Model 717-200 Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas Model 717-200 Airplanes
This AD applies to McDonnell Douglas Model 717-200 airplanes, certificated in any category; as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 717-28-0013, Revision 2, dated September 13, 2006.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain McDonnell Douglas Model 717-200 airplanes. This AD requires modifying the fuel boost pump container of the center tank. This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent exposing the fuel pump container vapor area to electrical arcing during a fuel pump motor case or connector burn through, which could result in a fuel tank explosion.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 78 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the fuel boost pump container of the center tank by doing all the actions specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Service Bulletin 717-28-0013, Revision 2, dated September 13, 2006.
Modifications accomplished before the effective date of this AD in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 717-28-0013, dated July 28, 2004; or Boeing Service Bulletin 717-28-0013, Revision 1, dated April 7, 2006; are considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding action specified in this AD.
