AD 2017-04-11 Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Models named: 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900 series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
(1) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes, certificated in any category. (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST00830SE ( http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgstc.nsf/0/184DE9A71EC3FA5586257EAE00707DA6?OpenDocument&Highlight=st00830se ) does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST00830SE is installed, a “change in product” alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
At the applicable time specified in table 1 of paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1486, dated November 6, 2014, as revised by Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1486, Revision 1, dated April 1, 2015 (“SASB 737-32-1486, R1”), except as required by paragraph (k)(1) of this AD: Do the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD in order to identify affected parts. (1) Inspect the MLG to determine if it has any component installation or side strut assembly having a part number and serial number listed in Appendix D of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1486, dated November 6, 2014, as revised by SASB 737-32-1486, R1; except that the “Variable Number” column of Appendix D is to be disregarded in determining affected part and serial numbers. An MLG that has any MLG component installation or side strut assembly having a part number and serial number listed in Appendix D of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-32-1486, dated November 6, 2014, as revised by SASB 737-32-1486, R1 is an affected part. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the part number and serial number of the MLG component installation and side strut assembly can be conclusively identified from that review. (2) Do a records review to determine if the MLG has been overhauled by Messier Services Asia Pte Ltd (MS Asia) outside of the Boeing Exchange program from June 1, 2009, to July 31, 2013. If it is determined that the MLG has been overhauled by MS Asia outside of the Boeing Exchange program from June 1, 2009, to July 31, 2013, that MLG is an affected part. If from the records review it cannot be conclusively determined that an overhauled MLG was overhauled by a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility other than MS Asia, or if from the records review it cannot be conclusively determined that an MLG overhauled by MS Asia was part of the Boeing Exchange Program from June 1, 2009, to July 31, 2013, that MLG is an affected part.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of paint deterioration on the surface of the main landing gear (MLG) and early onset of corrosion in the trunnion bore of the MLG outer cylinder. We are issuing this AD to prevent stress corrosion cracking of the external surfaces of the MLG, which could result in a fracture of the MLG and consequent MLG collapse.
Affected ADs
None.

TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
