FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 737 Series Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the upper frame to side frame splice of the fuselage, which could result in decompression of the airplane.
