Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8947 · 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) that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 series airplanes. This action requires inspections and replacement or reidentification and reinstallation of certain aft engine mount link assemblies. This amendment is prompted by reports of cracking in the aft engine mount link assemblies of airplanes having link assemblies identical to those installed on Model MD-11 series airplanes. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent loss of the aft engine mount capability to support engine loads, and possible separation of the engine from the airplane.
