Models named: 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, -500 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 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, certificated in any category. (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE 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

For airplanes identified as Group 1 in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-57A1344 RB, dated February 18, 2019: Within 120 days after the effective date of this AD, do a surface high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection of the left and right upper wing skin and a general visual inspection of the upper wing skin in the adjacent rib bay areas for any crack, and do applicable on-condition actions, using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of a fuel leak resulting from a crack on the left in-spar upper wing skin. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracks in the upper wing skin, which could grow undetected. This condition, if not addressed, could result in the inability of the structure to carry limit load and adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
