New Inspections for Boeing 737s
If you own or operate Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, or -900ER airplanes, this rule requires you to do repetitive detailed and ultrasonic inspections of certain left- and right-hand frame fittings and failsafe straps and to repair any cracks found. The rule replaces AD 2021-09-06 and was issued because more cracking was reported in that area.
