AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2014-16-14

PRODUCT: Certain The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes.
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by reports in which a single, undetected, erroneous radio altimeter output caused the autothrottle to enter landing flare retard mode prematurely on approach. This AD requires removing certain autothrottle computers and installing a new or reworked autothrottle computer.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent a single, undetected, erroneous radio altimeter output from causing premature autothrottle landing flare retard and subsequent loss of automatic speed control, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 23, 2014.
