Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive forces operators of specified Boeing 737-600/700/700C/800/900 aeroplanes to measure the electrical resistance of the dual ground studs for the left main landing-gear fire‑extinguisher bottle and to repair any anomalies, following Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-26A1118 Rev 1. Measurements must be done within 90 days and any required repairs completed before the next flight; certain earlier Boeing telex/ASB work is accepted as compliant.
