Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-200 and -300 series airplanes. This action requires inspections to detect cracking of the fuselage frames at certain locations below the lower jamb of the upper deck main cargo door, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports of fatigue cracking in the fuselage frames at these locations. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent rapid decompression of the airplane due to fatigue cracking in the fuselage frames of the main deck cargo door.
