Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737 Series Airplanes

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 737 series airplanes. This proposal would require modification of certain number 2 galley upper attachment support structure. This proposal is prompted by results of engineering tests and analyses which revealed that certain upper attachment support structure of the number 2 galley is unable to support certain loads that may occur during emergency landing conditions. If the galley support breaks, the galley may shift and cause blockage of the forward service door. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent inability of passengers and crew to exit the airplane through this door after an emergency landing.
