Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737 series airplanes, that requires inspection of wire bundles in certain junction boxes in the main wheel well to detect chafing or damage, and follow-on actions. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent wire damage, which could result in arcing and consequent fire in the main wheel well or passenger cabin, or inability to stop the flow of fuel to an engine or to the auxiliary power unit in the event of a fire. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
