Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-8-60 Series Airplanes Equipped With Engines Modified by Burbank Aeronautical Corporation II (BAC II) in Accordance With Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SA4892NM or SA5455NM

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-8-60 series airplanes. This action requires inspection to determine the part number of the cone bolt on the right side of the forward mount of each engine, and replacement of the bolt, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report of failure of a cone bolt at that location on an engine of one airplane. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent failure of the cone bolt on the right side of the forward mount of the engine, which may lead to separation of the engine during a critical phase of flight.

Part-conditional96013-1, DC-8-21005-7.

Applies to Douglas DC-8 series airplanes to prevent failure of the cone bolt on the right side of the forward mount of the engine. Requires inspecting the cone bolt P/N on each of the four engines; if not Barry Controls P/N 96013-1, replace with that P/N per STC SA4892NM or SA5455NM. As of the effective date, installation of a cone bolt having BAC II P/N DC-8-21005-7 on the right side of the forward engine mount is prohibited.

Whether AD 95-09-09 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 95-09-09 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.
