AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2013-08-18

PRODUCT: Certain Boeing 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900 and -900ER series airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-08-18
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY:  This AD was prompted by a report of leaking fuel from the wing leading edge area at the inboard end of the number 5 leading edge slat. This AD requires modifying the fluid drain path in the wing leading edge area, forward of the wing front spar, and doing all applicable related investigative and corrective actions; and installing new seal disks on the latches in the fuel shutoff valve access door.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent flammable fluids from accumulating in the wing leading edge, and draining inboard and onto the engine exhaust nozzle, which could result in a fire.

DATES: This AD is effective June 5, 2013.
