Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8865 · 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 and MD-11F airplanes, that requires modification of the fuel crossfeed low level dump system shutoff. This amendment is prompted by an FAA determination that, in the event of a failure of the number 2 bus tie relay and the subsequent loss of the number 2 electrical power source, an all-engine flameout event could occur due to fuel starvation during or shortly after a fuel dumping operation. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of the fuel dump system shutoff due to a failure of the number 2 DC bus electrical relay and the subsequent loss of the number 2 electrical power source.
