FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for McDonnell Douglas DC-9-10 Series Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive to inspect the structural integrity of McDonnell Douglas DC-9-10 Series, DC-9-20 Series, DC-9-30 Series, DC-9-40 Series, and DC-9-50 Series airplanes as they approach their original fatigue design life goal, in order to prevent fatigue cracking that could compromise the structural integrity of these aircraft.
