Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-15 Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-15 airplanes, that requires, among other things, inspections to detect discrepancies at various locations of pylons 1 and 3, and correction of any discrepancy found. This amendment is prompted by a report of internal structural damage to the wing engine pylon that occurred during maintenance of a Model DC-10 series airplane. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure the integrity of the structure and attachment of the wing engine pylon.
