FAA Adopts Airworthiness Directive for McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and DC-10 Aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive requiring McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and MD-11F, as well as certain DC-10 models, to reroute system 3 hydraulic piping, install new pipe assemblies and unions, and redesign support brackets to prevent damage to the hydraulic system, which could result in loss of hydraulic function during takeoff.
