## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all McDonnell Douglas Model MD-11 series airplanes. This action prohibits installation of a certain In-flight Entertainment Network system. This amendment is prompted by the results of a special certification review of the in-flight entertainment system installed on a Model MD-11 series airplane that was involved in a recent accident. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent possible confusion as the flightcrew performs their duties in response to a smoke/fumes emergency, which could impair their ability to correctly identify the source of the smoke/fumes and subsequently affect the continued safe flight and landing of the airplane.
