Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and -11F Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and -11F airplanes, that requires an inspection of the wiring in the fuel control panel of the wings for chafing damage and for proper routing of the wiring; and corrective action(s), if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent chafing of the wiring in a cutout area in the wing fuel control panel due to improperly routed wiring, which could result in electrical arcing in an abnormal fuel vapor zone and consequent possible ignition of the fuel vapor. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
