AD 95-792 · 1995-01-20 · airframe

Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9 and DC-9- 80 Series Airplanes, Model MD-88 Airplanes, and Model C-9 (Military) Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9 and DC-9-80 series airplanes, Model MD-88 airplanes, and Model C-9 (military) airplanes, that requires inspection of the tailcone release locking cable fitting assembly, and replacement or modification of the assembly, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports of the inability of the tailcone to deploy because the swaged ball on the cable had jammed after passing into the release handle hole. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the inability of the tailcone to deploy, which could impede the egress of passengers from the airplane during an emergency evacuation.

applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records

Whether AD 95-792 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 95-792 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.
