AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2013-04-05

PRODUCT: Certain Boeing Model 737-200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-04-05
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in the skin and surrounding structure under the number 3 very high frequency (VHF) antenna on the lower external surface of the airplane at buttock line 0.0, aft of the main landing gear wheel well. This AD requires inspecting for cracking and corrosion under the number 3 VHF antenna, and corrective actions if necessary; and, for certain airplanes, replacing bonded skin panels with solid skin panels if not previously accomplished. This AD also provides an optional preventive modification (which would terminate the inspection requirements for certain airplanes).

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks and corrosion of the skin and surrounding structure under the number 3 VHF antenna, which could result in separation of the antenna from the airplane, and rapid depressurization of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective March 28, 2013.
