AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes (737 Overhead Stowage)

AD NUMBER: 2013-02-07

PRODUCT: Certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-02-07
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by reports from the manufacturer that center overhead stowage (COS) boxes could fall from their supports under forward load levels less than the 9 g forward load requirements as defined by certain regulations. This AD requires modifying COS boxes by installing new brackets, stiffeners, and hardware as needed.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent detachment of COS boxes at forward load levels less than 9 g during an emergency landing, which would cause injury to passengers and/or crew, and could impede subsequent rapid evacuation.

DATES: This AD is effective March 6, 2013.
