AD 95-02-02 Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9 and DC-9- 80 Series Airplanes, Model MD-88 Airplanes, and Model C-9 (Military) Airplanes
Models named: DC-9 series, MD-88. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
Model DC-9 series airplanes, Model DC-9-80 (MD- 80) series airplanes, Model MD-88 airplanes, and Model C-9 (military) airplanes; as listed in McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Service Bulletin 53-269, dated August 11, 1994; certificated in any category. Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must use the authority provided in paragraph (c) to request approval from the FAA. This approval may address either no action, if the current configuration eliminates the unsafe condition; or different actions necessary to address the unsafe condition described in this AD. Such a request should include an assessment of the effect of the changed configuration on the [[Page 4076]] unsafe condition addressed by this AD. In no case does the presence of any modification, alteration, or repair remove any airplane from the applicability of this AD.
Compliance
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent the inability of the tailcone to deploy, which could impede the egress of passengers from the airplane during an emergency evacuation, accomplish the following: (a) Within 18 months after the effective date of this AD, inspect the tailcone release locking cable fitting assembly for proper operation in accordance with the procedures specified in McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Service Bulletin 53-269, dated August 11, 1994. If the swaged ball on the cable can pass into the handle hole, prior to further flight, replace or modify the fitting assembly in accordance with the service bulletin. (b) Within 36 months after the effective date of this AD, replace or modify the fitting assembly in accordance with McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Service Bulletin 53-269, dated August 11, 1994. Such replacement or modification constitutes terminating action for the requirements of this AD. (c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Los Angeles ACO. Note 2: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Los Angeles ACO. (d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. (e) The inspection, replacement, and modification shall be done in accordance with McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Service Bulletin 53-269, dated August 11, 1994. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies may be obtained from McDonnell Douglas Corporation, P.O. Box 1771, Long Beach, California 90801- 1771, Attention: Business Unit Manager, Technical Administrative Support, Dept. L51, M.C. 2-98.
