Models named: 737-100, -200, -200C series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, and -200C series airplanes; certificated in any category; as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1313, dated November 3, 2011.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

For Group 1 airplanes, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1313, dated November 3, 2011: Within 120 days after the effective date of this AD, inspect and modify, as required, using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (k) of this AD.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of a severed upper butt strap, and cracks in the forward skin and bonded doubler, on one airplane. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracks at the adjacent mating skins (forward and aft), which could initiate just above stringers S-4R and S-4L; and could grow and result in a decompression event.

Affected ADs

None.
