Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas DC-9-51 and DC-9-83 Series Airplanes Modified by Supplemental Type Certificate SA8026NM

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-51 and DC-9-83 series airplanes modified by Supplemental Type Certificate SA8026NM, that requires deactivation of the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system and removal of the system from the airplane. This action is necessary to prevent the inability of the flight crew to remove power from the IFE system when necessary. Inability to remove power from the IFE system during a non-normal or emergency situation could result in inability to control smoke or fumes in the airplane flight deck or cabin. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Whether AD 01-17156 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 01-17156 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
