McDonnell Douglas DC-9-10, -20, -30, -40, and -50 Series Airplanes, and C-9 (Military) Airplanes: Proposed Airworthiness Directive

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes a new airworthiness directive for certain McDonnell Douglas DC-9-10, -20, -30, -40, and -50 series airplanes, and C-9 military airplanes, to address fatigue cracks found in the fuselage skin and doubler at the corners of the forward lower cargo doorjamb, which could lead to rapid decompression and reduced structural integrity.
