Ross Landes,
Deputy Director for Regulatory Operations, Compliance & Airworthiness Division, Aircraft Certification
Service.
Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-02-51 is sent to owners and operators of The
Boeing Company Model 737-9 airplanes.
Background
This emergency AD was prompted by a report of an in-flight departure of a mid cabin door
plug, which resulted in a rapid decompression of the airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
the potential in-flight loss of a mid cabin door plug, which could result in injury to passengers and
crew, the door impacting the airplane, and/or loss of control of the airplane.
FAA’s Determination
The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
AD Requirements
This AD prohibits further flight of affected airplanes, until the airplane is inspected and all
applicable corrective actions have been performed using a method approved by the Manager,
AIR-520, Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA.
Interim Action
The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. If final action is later identified, the FAA
might consider further rulemaking then.
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA’s authority to issue rules on aviation
safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency’s authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart III, Section 44701, General requirements. Under that section, Congress charges the FAA
with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices,
methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely
to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
1
Presentation of the Actual AD
The FAA is issuing this AD under 49 U.S.C. Section 44701 according to the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator.
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-9 airplanes, certificated in any category,
with a mid cabin door plug installed.
(d) Subject
This emergency AD was prompted by a report of an in-flight departure of a mid cabin door
plug, which resulted in a rapid decompression of the airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
the potential in-flight loss of a mid cabin door plug, which could result in injury to passengers and
crew, the door impacting the airplane, and/or loss of control of the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this emergency AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
As of receipt of this emergency AD, further flight is prohibited until the airplane is inspected
and all applicable corrective actions have been performed using a method approved by the Manager,
AIR-520, Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA.
Special flight permits, as described in 14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199, are allowed only for
unpressurized flights.
(1) The Manager, AIR-520, Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA, has the authority to
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In
accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of the
2
certification office, send it to the attention of the person identified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to: [email protected].
(2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking
a principal inspector, the manager of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used for any repair,
modification, or alteration required by this AD if it is approved by The Boeing Company
Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, AIR-520,
Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA, to make those findings. To be approved, the repair
method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and the approval must specifically refer to this AD.
For further information about this AD, contact Michael Linegang, Manager, Operational
Safety Branch, FAA; phone: 817-222-5390; email: [email protected].
