## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-10 and -30 series airplanes. This proposal would require an inspection of the power feeder cable for evidence of chafing, and repair of any chafed power feeder cable. This proposal also would require replacement of the wiring support clip (standoff) of the power feeder cable with a new, improved wiring support clip. This action is necessary to prevent chafing and arcing of the power feeder cable and adjacent airplane structure and system components, and consequent smoke/fire in an engine nacelle. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
