CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Stall Protection System anomalies have been reported on the 717-200 related to the Angle of Attack (AOA) Sensor becoming immobilized and reporting incorrect angle of attack alpha values. Boeing investigation found potential water intrusion and subsequent ice formation between the AOA sensor vane and face plate could cause the vane to become immobilized until the airplane is operated at temperatures above freezing. The MD-90 uses the same AOA sensors as the 717 and the same potential for AOA vane immobilization exists. If this condition occurs the Stall Protection System may become unreliable or non-functional which can result in unsafe flight conditions or loss of controllability of the airplane.

Eight (8) reports from four (4) 717-200 operators identified stick shaker activation at airspeeds that were above the stall protection system's stick shaker schedule. Review of the flight data and operator reports indicate the AOA sensor vanes were exposed to moisture/water intrusion prior to and during takeoff/climb. As a result, the AOA sensor vanes may become immobilized when the Total Air Temperature (TAT) is below 0 degrees Celsius during the climb and cruise portion of flight. The consequence of this immobilization renders the Stall Protection System non-functional until the airplane operates in above 0 degree Celsius conditions. Additionally, the MD-90 Stall Protection System does not incorporate the same 717 Mach compensated stall warning system or stick shaker warning system features which under some conditions could alert the crew an AOA sensor is immobilized.

Performing this service bulletin installs AOA Sensor External Case Heaters on the Left and Right Side AOA Sensor assemblies. External Case Heaters will increase the temperature of the AOA sensor assemblies to mitigate the possibility of ice formation and subsequent system anomalies caused by AOA vane immobilization.
