AD: McDonnel Douglas

AD NUMBER: 2009-11-11

MANUFACTURER: McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Airplanes
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2009-11-11

 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 airplanes. This AD requires installing fuses and wire protection in certain wing and fuel tank spars. This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent possible damage to the fuel level float or pressure switch wires. Such damage could become a potential ignition source inside the fuel tank, and, when combined with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
