Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9159 · McDonnell Douglas Corporation Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas Corporation Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 95-04-07 R1. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to McDonnell Douglas Corporation DC-10-10, DC-10-15, DC-10-30, DC-10-30F (KC-10A).
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 DC-10 series airplanes and KC-10A (military) airplanes. This action requires inspections to determine the condition of the lockwires on the forward engine mount bolts and correction of any discrepancies found. This action also provides for termination of the inspections for some airplanes by installing retainers on the bolts. This amendment is prompted by reports of stretched or broken lockwires on the forward engine mount bolts. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent broken lockwires, which could result in loosening of the engine mount bolts, and subsequent separation of the engine from the airplane.\n\n\tComments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before May 1, 1995.
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.
