Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11107 · Boeing Model 737-600, -700, and -800 Series Airplanes
Boeing Model 737-600, -700, and -800 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2001-22-11. Comply with the one in force.
All Boeing Model 737-600, -700, and -800 series airplanes; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Boeing Model 737-600, -700, and -800 series airplanes. This action requires an inspection of the power distribution panels (PDP) to verify proper installation of the power feeder terminals and associated hardware, and corrective actions, if necessary. This action also requires repetitive torque checks of the terminal attachment screws. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating the loss of electrical power from the engine-driven generators or the auxiliary power unit due to overheating, melting, and subsequent failure of the power feeder terminals. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such conditions, which could result in increased risk of fire and the loss of electrical power from the associated alternating current power source.
