Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8805 · The Boeing Company Airplanes
The Boeing Company Airplanes
This AD applies to The Boeing Company MD-11, MD-11F.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 series airplanes, that requires replacing the anti-skid control unit. This amendment is prompted by three reports of failure of the center landing gear drag link, after which the center landing gear swung aft and struck the fuselage. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the center landing gear drag link, which could result in extensive damage to the fuselage structure.
