This Directive is based on Federal Aviation Administration AD 99-08-02, the issue of which was prompted by a design review and testing results obtained in support of an accident investigation. The Directive is intended to remove ignition sources from the centre fuel tank and prevent consequent fire and/or explosion in the fuel tank.

            Amendment 1 clarified Requirement 4.c., removing the terms 'series 3' and 'series 4' and replacing them with a reference to a figure in the Boeing ASB. A definition of 'visual inspection' as applicable to this Directive was also included as a note.

            This amendment introduces an alternate method of compliance (AMOC) for Requirements 1, 2 and 3 reflecting a Federal Aviation Administration AMOC.

            Amendment 2 introduced an AMOC for Requirements 4 and 5 reflecting a Federal Aviation Administration AMOC.

            Amendment 2 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 6 September 2000. Amendment 1 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 2 December 1999. The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 17 June 1999.
