Airworthiness Directive 01-15570
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-81, -82, -83, and -87 Series Airplanes, and MD-88 Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-81, -82, -83, and - 87 series airplanes, and MD-88 airplanes, that requires revising the wiring of the selective calling (SELCAL) system. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent inadvertent very high frequency transmissions and subsequent loss of radio communications for airplane and/or airport operations; and to prevent inadvertent high frequency transmissions and subsequent electrical shock to ground service personnel and/or damage to the airplane during fueling operations or fuel tank maintenance. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
Which aircraft AD 01-15570 applies to
Whether AD 01-15570 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
