Boeing Model 737-600, 737-700, 737-800, 757-200, and 757-300 Series Airplanes
Model 737-600, -700, and -800 series airplanes, as listed in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-23A1169, Revision 2, including Appendices A and B, dated June 21, 2001; Model 757-200 series airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757- 23A0060, Revision 1, including Appendices A and B, dated January 11, 2001; and Model 757-300 series airplanes, as listed in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757-23A0061, Revision 1, including Appendices A and B, dated January 11, 2001; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-600, 737-700, 737-800, 757-200, and 757-300 series airplanes, that requires replacing existing video distribution unit (VDU) connectors with new, improved connectors or new wire assemblies (jumpers), and performing related actions, as applicable. This action is necessary to prevent a short circuit in a VDU connector and consequent arcing and damage to wiring within the connector, which could result in damage to adjacent systems or structure and possible smoke or fire in the airplane cabin. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
