Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-100, -200, and -200C series airplanes. This action requires inspections of a certain component, and corrective action, if necessary. This action is necessary to detect and correct stress corrosion cracking in the front spar of the center section of the horizontal stabilizer, which could result in structural failure of the horizontal stabilizer and loss of control of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
