Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated an existing airworthiness directive for the Boeing 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, requiring earlier inspections for certain areas and expanding the scope of the directive to prevent fatigue cracks and rapid decompression due to scribe lines on pressurized fuselage structure.
