FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for McDonnell Douglas Model 717-200 Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain McDonnell Douglas Model 717-200 airplanes to modify the wire installation of the auxiliary hydraulic pump in the right wheel well of the main landing gear to prevent a potential fuel tank explosion. The proposed AD aims to address a risk of tire burst and electrical arcing that could lead to ignition and fuel tank explosion.
