McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Series Airplanes
Model MD-90-30 series airplanes, as listed in McDonnell Douglas Alert Service Bulletin MD90-30A021, dated March 31, 1998; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 series airplanes, that requires modification of the wiring of the strake ice protection system (SIPS). This amendment is prompted by a report of a fire in the electrical and electronic compartment of a Model MD-90-30 series airplane. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an electrical short circuit of the wiring of the SIPS, which could result in a fire in the electrical and electronic compartment of the airplane.
