Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8922 · McDonnell Douglas Corporation Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas Corporation Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2000-07-16. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to McDonnell Douglas Corporation 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) that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and MD-11F series airplanes. This action requires modification of the external power feeder cable clamping installation. This amendment is prompted by reports of damage to the external power feeder cables located under the forward cargo compartment floor, which was caused by excessive cable length and/or maintenance personnel stepping on the cables. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent arcing from occurring under the forward cargo compartment floor as a result of damaged external power feeder cables, a situation that could lead to a fire at this location.
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.
