AD: McDonnell Douglas

AD NUMBER: 2005-13-14
MANUFACTURER:
McDonnell Douglas
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-13-14
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes.

This AD requires replacing existing dual anti-skid control manifolds (DACM) with new, improved or reworked and re-identified DACMs; inspecting the inlet filters and other components of the DACMs for damage; replacing any damaged DACM components with new or serviceable components; and flushing/cleaning the braking system prior to replacing the inlet filters. This AD is prompted by reports of multiple incidents of blown tires on landing while using maximum autobrake. We are issuing this AD to prevent metallic fibers from the first stage filter ofthe servo valves inside the DACM from becoming lodged in the first stage nozzle of the servo valve, which could lead to tire failure during high speed/high energy braking and possible subsequent runway departure.
