Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9213 · McDonnell Douglas Corporation Airplanes
McDonnell Douglas Corporation Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 96-07-15. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to McDonnell Douglas Corporation DC-9-80 Series (all), MD-88.
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-9-80 series airplanes and Model MD-88 airplanes. This action requires an inspection to detect chafing of or damage to the wire bundle in the overhead switch panel of the cockpit, application of spiral wrap to the wire bundle, and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports of chafed and shorted wires that resulted in smoke emanating from the overhead switch panel of the cockpit. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent the potential for fire and uncontrolled smoke throughout the cockpit as a result of chafing and shorting in the electrical wire bundles.
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.
