## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727-200 series airplanes, that requires installation of four lanyards on the forward access panel/ door. This action is necessary to prevent the forward ceiling access panel/door from falling down and blocking the aisle, which would impede evacuation in an emergency. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
