Applicability*9
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1420 RB, dated February 13, 2025.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: At the applicable times specified in the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1420 RB, dated February 13, 2025, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1420 RB, dated February 13, 2025. Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions required by this AD can be found in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1420, dated February 13, 2025, which is referred to in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1420 RB, dated February 13, 2025.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports indicating cracks in the bear strap and stub frame at the forward galley door cutout, from station (STA) 290 to STA 296 and between stringer S-8R and stringer S-9R. The FAA is issuing this AD to address any crack in the fuselage skin, bear strap, and stub frame at the forward galley door cutout from STA 290 to STA 296 and between stringer S-8R and stringer S-9R, before it reaches critical length. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, may result in the inability of a principal structural element to sustain limit load, which could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
