## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, and -800 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection of certain fasteners in rudder pedal housings to determine if pan-head fasteners are installed, and replacement of existing fasteners with improved fasteners, if necessary. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loss of free movement of the rudder pedals, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
