## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect damage of certain taxi light assemblies, and replacement with a new or serviceable part, if necessary. This AD also requires eventual replacement of certain taxi light assemblies with improved parts, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This amendment is prompted by a report that a damaged taxi light detached from an airplane and was ingested into the airplane engines. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent damage to the taxi light assembly, which could result in detachment of the taxi light assembly from the airplane, ingestion of taxi light debris into an engine, and consequent loss of thrust from one or both engines.
