Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and -11F Airplanes Equipped With General Electric Tail Engine Buildup Units (EBU)

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and -11F airplanes that requires installation of a new support bracket with a clamp and screw to support the wire harness of the integrated drive generator (IDG). This action is necessary to prevent chafing and arcing of the wire harness of the IDG due to inadequate support, which could result in smoke and/or fire in the area of the forward engine mount. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

ModelsMD-11

Requires installing new IDG wire-harness support bracket per Boeing (McDonnell Douglas) Alert SB MD11-24A095, Rev 01; prior installation per SB MD11-24-095 dated Jan 29, 1996 satisfies this AD.

Whether AD 2002-14-14 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 2002-14-14 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.
