Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10, DC-10-10F, DC-10-15, DC-10-30, DC-10-30F (KC10A and KDC-10), DC-10-40, DC-10-40F, MD-10-10F, and MD-10-30F Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas transport category airplanes listed above. This action requires inspecting the fuel boost/transfer pumps or reviewing the airplane maintenance records to determine the part number of the fuel boost/transfer pumps, and follow-on actions if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent heated localized temperatures within the fuel boost/transfer pumps due to frictional heating, which could result in a potential source of ignition in a fuel tank and consequent fire or explosion. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Whether AD 03-19682 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.

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.
