Federal Aviation Administration Proposes Changes to Airworthiness Directives for Certain McDonnell Douglas Aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would modify the installation of electrical connectors on certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 and DC-10 series airplanes, and KC-10A (military) airplanes, in order to prevent the wrong engine-driven generator from being shut down unnecessarily in the event of an engine fire warning.
