Airworthiness Directive 2010-16-06
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400, -500, -600, -700, and -800 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model 737-300, -400, -500, -600, -700, and -800 series airplanes. This AD requires inspecting to verify the part number of the low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen system installed under the oxygen mask stowage boxes located within the flight deck, and replacing the flex- hose with a new non-conductive low-pressure flex-hose if necessary. This AD results from reports of low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen system that burned through due to inadvertent electrical current from a short circuit in the audio select panel. We are issuing this AD to prevent inadvertent electrical current, which can cause the low- pressure flex-hoses of the crew oxygen system to melt or burn, causing oxygen system leakage and smoke or fire.
Which aircraft AD 2010-16-06 applies to
(1) 737-300/-400/-500 as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-35A1053, Revision 1, dated June 1, 2000. (2) 737-600/-700/-800 as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-35A1058, Revision 1, dated June 1, 2000.
Whether AD 2010-16-06 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
