Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2004-03-34 R1. Comply with the one in force.
Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, as listed in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-25-1434, dated March 22, 2001; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, that requires replacing existing screw, nut, and washers that attach the latch cable assembly to the latch block assembly of the door mounted escape slides, with new, improved screw, nut, and washers. This action is necessary to prevent the latch cable assembly from disconnecting from the latch block assembly of the door mounted escape slide, which could result in an escape slide not deploying in an emergency situation. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
