AFE 2025 LIVE MOSAIC Town Hall (Archived): www.airborne-live.net

Fri, Jun 22, 2007

AD: McDonnell Douglas

AD NUMBER: 2007-13-02
MANUFACTURER: McDonnell Douglas
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-13-02
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all McDonnell Douglas Model DC-8-2, DC-8-62F, DC-8-63, DC-8-63F, DC-8-72, DC-8-72F, and DC-8-73F airplanes components (the sump heater, scavenge valve, and scavenge pump) of the center wing fuel tank.

This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer.

We are issuing this AD to prevent certain conditions related to these components, which could lead to a possible ignition source in the fuel tank and a potential fire or explosion.
