Is AD 2014-23-10 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2014-23-10 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2014-23-10 apply to?

AD 2014-23-10 applies to Boeing — models 737-100, 737-200, 737-200C, 737-300, 737-400, 737-500, 737. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-17-03 for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. AD 2008-17-03 required repetitive inspections to detect fuselage frame cracking, and corrective action if necessary. AD 2008-17-03 also provided for optional terminating action (repair/ preventive change) for the repetitive inspections. This new AD adds airplanes to the applicability, but does not provide terminating action for the newly added airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found at the cutout in the web of body station frame 303.9 inboard of stringer 16L, as well as a new report of cracking found on an airplane not identified in the applicability of AD 2008-17-03. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fuselage frame cracking, which could prevent the left forward entry door from sealing correctly, and could cause in-flight decompression of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Applicability as identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1197, dated August 25, 2006 (-100/-200/-200C/-300/-400/-500 series), and Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1188, Revision 3, dated September 6, 2013 (-300/-400/-500 series). Installation of STC ST01219SE does not affect applicability; no change-in-product AMOC required for airplanes with that STC installed.

Whether AD 2014-23-10 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
