Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This AD requires operators of all Boeing 737 series to update their Aircraft Flight Manuals to add FAA‑specified procedures for dealing with an uncommanded, jammed or restricted rudder (Requirement). Compliance can be met by inserting FAA AD 2000‑22‑02 into the AFM and was required within 30 days after 22 November 2000 unless terminated by a retrofit (Compliance). Operators pay for manual changes and any retrofit; CASA (the Delegate) enforces the AD and treats completing FAA AD 2002‑20‑07 (AD/B737/201) as terminating action (Amendment 1).

AD/B737/148

Amdt 1

Uncommanded Rudder 8/2003

Applicability: All Model 737 series aircraft.

Requirement: Revise the Normal Procedures Section of the Aircraft Flight Manual for Model 737- 100 and -200 series aircraft or the Non-Normal Procedures Section of the Aircraft Flight Manual for Model 737-300, -400, -500, -600, -700, and -800 series aircraft, as applicable, to include the procedures specified in FAA AD 2000-22-02 Amdt 39- 11948.

This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of FAA AD 2000-22-02 in the Aircraft Flight Manual.

Accomplishment of the requirements of AD/B737/201 (FAA AD 2002-20-07) constitutes terminating action for the requirements of this Directive.

Compliance: Within 30 days after 22 November 2000; unless the requirements of AD/B737/201 are accomplished.

The compliance time of this Directive remains unchanged. This Amendment becomes effective on 7 August 2003.

Background: This Directive was prompted by an FAA determination that the procedure currently required by the Aircraft Flight Manual to maintain aircraft control during an uncommanded yaw or roll condition, is not defined adequately. The specified actions are intended to ensure that the flight crew is advised of the procedures necessary to address a condition involving a jammed or restricted rudder.

Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD (2002-20-07) which requires incorporation of a new rudder control system; and thereby supersedes the requirements of AD 2000-22-02, the Requirement document of this Directive.

Signature of David Villiers, Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
