Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11469 · Boeing Model 737-600, -700, and -800 Series Airplanes
Boeing Model 737-600, -700, and -800 Series Airplanes
Model 737-600, -700, and -800 series airplanes; line numbers 1 through 144 inclusive; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, and -800 series airplanes, that requires installation of a drain at each of the number 2 window frame assemblies in the airplane. This amendment is prompted by reports that flight deck emergency exits (number 2 windows) were found frozen shut after landing. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent water accumulation in the lower corners of the flight deck emergency exits (number 2 windows), which can freeze and prevent the exits from being used during an emergency evacuation.
