Resumo
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-10-10, -15, -30, and - 40 series airplanes, KC-10A (military) airplanes, and Model MD-11 series airplanes, that requires the installation of retainers and supports at the lateral control mixer bracket on the center of the wing rear spar of the airplane. This amendment is prompted by an analysis conducted by the manufacturer, which revealed that failure of a lateral control mixer bracket could result in uncommanded deployment of the spoiler. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent inadvertent asymmetric deployment of the spoiler, which may lead to reduced controllability of the airplane.
