FAA Proposes Revised Airworthiness Directive for McDonnell Douglas MD-90-30 Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a revised airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model MD-90-30 airplanes to address issues with the auxiliary hydraulic power system, including electrically shorted wires and arcing on power cables, which could lead to a fire in the wheel well or a fuel tank explosion.
