AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-07-08

PRODUCT: Certain The Boeing Company Model DC-9-83 (MD-83) airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: This AD requires installing fuel level float and pressure switch in-line fuses, and doing applicable wiring changes, on the left, right, and center wing forward spars, forward auxiliary fuel tank, and aft auxiliary fuel tank.

This AD was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective April 20, 2016. Comments must be received by May 20, 2016.

FMI: AD
