AD: Boeing

AD NUMBER: 2007-16-05
MANUFACTURER: Boeing
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-16-05
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Boeing Model 737-100, -200,-200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes.

This AD requires repetitive inspections for discrepancies of the elevator tab control rod assemblies and/or damage to the surrounding structure, and related corrective action.

This AD results from reports indicating loose jam nuts and/or thread wear at the rod ends on the elevator tab control rod assembly.

We are issuing this AD to find and fix discrepancies of the elevator tab control rod assembly, which could result in excessive freeplay in the elevator tab control rods.

Such freeplay could cause loss of both load paths, subsequent elevator tab flutter, and consequent reduced structural integrity and loss of controllability of the airplane.
