## Abstract

This amendment clarifies information in an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10 series airplanes and KC-10A (military) airplanes, that currently requires inspections to determine the condition of the lockwires on the forward engine mount bolts and correction of any discrepancies found. That amendment also provides for termination of the inspections for some airplanes by installing retainers on the bolts. The actions specified in that AD are intended to prevent broken lockwires, which could result in loosening of the engine mount bolts, and subsequent separation of the engine from the airplane. This amendment clarifies the procedures for accomplishing the optional terminating action on engines 1, 2, and 3. This amendment is prompted by communications received from affected operators indicating that those procedures were unclear.
