2021-25-05 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-21848; Docket No. FAA-2021-0665; Project
Identifier AD-2021-00270-T.
This AD replaces AD 2017-23-02, Amendment 39-19096 (82 FR 52835, November 15, 2017)
(AD 2017-23-02).
(c) Applicability
(1) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500
series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021.
(2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the ability to
accomplish the actions required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is
installed, a “change in product” alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval request is not
necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.
(d) Subject
This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder indicating that the
fuselage crown skin panels are subject to widespread fatigue damage. This AD was also prompted by
a determination that certain airplane configurations and inspection locations need to be revised, and
that additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
cracking in the fuselage crown skin panels. Multiple adjacent cracks in the fuselage crown skin could
link up and lead to decompression or loss of structural integrity of the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
For airplanes identified as Group 43 in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1,
dated February 26, 2021, within 120 days after the effective date of this AD, inspect the airplane and
4
2021-25-05 2
do all applicable on-condition actions using a method approved in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph (j) of this AD
For airplanes identified as Groups 1 through 42 in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358,
Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021, except as specified by paragraph (i) of this AD: At the
applicable times specified in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021, do all applicable actions identified as “RC” (required
for compliance) in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021. Actions identified as terminating action
in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021, terminate the
applicable required actions of this AD, provided the terminating action is done in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1, dated
February 26, 2021.
(1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021,
uses the phrase “the original issue date of this service bulletin,” this AD requires using “December
20, 2017” (the effective date of AD 2017-23-02).
(2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021,
specifies contacting Boeing for repair instructions or for work instructions, this AD requires doing the
repair, or doing the work instructions and applicable on-condition actions using a method approved in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
(3) Part 7 of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021,
specifies post-modification airworthiness limitation inspections in compliance with 14 CFR
25.571(a)(3) at the modified locations to support compliance with 14 CFR 121.1109(c)(2) or
129.109(b)(2). Although Part 7 is identified as RC, this AD does not require accomplishment of Part
7. As airworthiness limitations, these inspections are required by maintenance and operational rules.
It is, therefore, unnecessary to mandate them in this AD. Deviations from these inspections require
FAA approval, but do not require an AMOC.
(1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO 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 responsible Flight Standards Office, as appropriate. If
sending information directly to the manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of the
person identified in Related Information. Information may be emailed to: 9-ANM-LAACO-AMOC-
[email protected].
(2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a
principal inspector, the manager of the responsible Flight Standards 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, Los
Angeles ACO 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.
(4) AMOCs approved for AD 2017-23-02 are approved as AMOCs for the corresponding
provisions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1358, Revision 1, dated February 26, 2021, that
are required by paragraph (h) of this AD.
5
2021-25-05 3
(5) Except as specified by paragraph (i)(2) of this AD: For service information that contains
steps that are labeled as Required for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs (j)(5)(i) and (ii)
of this AD apply.
(i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step and any figures identified in an
RC step, must be done to comply with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled “RC Exempt,” then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is required for any deviations to RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures.
(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with
the operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided
the RC steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done as specified, and the airplane
can be put back in an airworthy condition.

Identifier AD-2022-00036-T.
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes, certificated
in any category.
(d) Subject
This AD was prompted by a determination that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon to perform
their intended function if they experience interference from wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-
3.98 GHz frequency band (5G C-Band), and a determination that, during landings, as a result of this
interference, certain airplane systems may not properly transition from AIR to GROUND mode when
landing on certain runways, resulting in a longer landing distance than normal due to the effect on
thrust reverser deployment, speedbrake deployment, and increased idle thrust. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address degraded deceleration performance and longer landing distance, which could lead
to a runway excursion.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
(g) Definitions
Runway condition codes are defined in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD.
