Airworthiness Directive 01-6282
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10 and MD-11 Series Airplanes, and KC-10A (Military) Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10 and MD-11 series airplanes, and KC-10A (military) airplanes, that requires installation of thrust reverser interlocks on certain airplanes, inspections of the thrust reverser systems to detect discrepancies on certain other airplanes, and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a determination that the current thrust reverser systems do not adequately preclude unwanted deployment of a thrust reverser. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent unwanted deployment of a thrust reverser, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 01-6282 applies to
Whether AD 01-6282 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.
