Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in the bear strap at the forward upper corner of the forward galley door cutout. This AD requires an inspection of the fuselage skin for existing repairs and applicable on- condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Applicability
Aircraft makes and models this AD applies to, sorted by US-registered fleet size.
Compliance instructions
The full AD text — required actions, compliance times, parts/serial numbers, and methods of compliance — is in the Federal Register publication. We do not paraphrase ADs because misreading the compliance instructions is a safety risk.
