Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of specified Boeing 737 models to test the two electrical circuits that close the wing-spar fuel shutoff valve and to repair any faults in accordance with the referenced Boeing Service Bulletins. Tests must follow the named SBs (or earlier accepted telexes); voltages outside 21–34 V DC or continuity failures trigger repairs. Aircraft operators pay for and arrange the testing and repairs and must complete actions within the AD’s compliance timing.

Applicability: The following models and series of aeroplanes as listed in the Service Bulletins (SB) below:

Aeroplane Model Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin

737-300, 737-400, 737-500 737-28-1164, dated 24 August 2000.

737-600, 737-700, 737-800 737-28-1160, Revision 1, dated 26 October 2000.

Requirement: 1. Perform a test to determine if there is continuity or to measure voltage, as applicable, of the two electrical circuits that close the fuel shutoff valve on the wing spar. Carry out the test in accordance with Special Attention SB 737-28- 1164 or SB 737-28-1164, Revision 1, dated 10 May 2001 (for Model 737-300, 737-400, and 737-500 series aeroplanes); or Special Attention SB 737-28-1160, Revision 1 (for Model 737-600, 737-700, and 737-800 series aeroplanes).

2. For Model 737-300, 737-400 and 737-500 series aeroplanes \- If any discontinuity is detected, repair the discontinuity in accordance with SB 737-28- 1164.

3. For Model 737-600, 737-700 and 737-800 series aeroplanes \- If any measurement is not between 21 and 34 volts direct current (DC), repair the discrepancy in accordance with SB 737-28-1160, Revision 1.

Note 1: Tests accomplished per Special Attention SB 737-28-1160 (for Model 737- 600, 737-700 and 737-800 series aeroplanes), dated 5 June 2000 are acceptable for compliance with this Directive.

Note 2: Tests accomplished prior to the effective date of this Directive per Boeing All Base Telex M-7200-00-01064, dated 24 April 2000; Boeing Telex SWA-DAL-00- 00182H, dated 27 March, 2000; Boeing Telex CAL-IAH-00-00681H, dated 17 April 2000; Boeing All Base Telex M-7200-00-01231, dated 31May 2000; or Boeing Telex AAL-AFW-00-00324H, dated 27 March 2000; are acceptable for compliance with this Directive.
