Airworthiness Directive 2017-06-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-03-04, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 737-500 series airplanes. AD 2017-03-04 required inspections to detect cracks in the fuselage skin panels, permanent repairs of time-limited repairs, skin panel replacement, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD reduces the applicability of AD 2017-03-04. This AD was prompted by a determination that airplanes were inadvertently included in the applicability of AD 2017-03-04. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2017-06-01 applies to
Applies to airplanes as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-53-1315, Revision 1, dated June 30, 2015. Installation of STC ST01219SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the AD actions; no 'change in product' AMOC approval is required for airplanes with this STC installed.
Whether AD 2017-06-01 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.
