AD: McDonnell Douglas

AD NUMBER: 2006-16-03
MANUFACTURER: McDonnell Douglas
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2006-16-03

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain McDonnell Douglas airplanes, identified above.

This AD requires installing or replacing with improved parts, as applicable, the bonding straps between the metallic frame of the fillet and the wing leading edge ribs, on both the left and right sides of the airplane.

This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer.

We are issuing this AD to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks in the event of a severe lightning strike, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
