FAA Adopts New Airworthiness Directive for Boeing 737-300, -400, and -500 Series Airplanes

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes to address a potential issue with spoiler sensor failures that may go undetected by the autothrottle computer, requiring repetitive built-in test equipment (BITE) tests and corrective action if necessary.
