✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directives for Boeing 737 Aircraft Compliance
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Summary
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-09-04, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes, and certain Model 737-8 and -9 airplanes. AD 2023-09-04 requires inspecting all escape slide assemblies to identify affected parts and replacing affected escape slide assemblies with different assemblies. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-09-04, it was determined that additional airplanes might be affected by the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2023-09-04 and require those actions for additional airplanes, including Model 737-8200 airplanes. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

$$$ - High
The proposed rulemaking (NPRM) from the FAA outlines compliance requirements for aircraft inspections and modifications that could impose financial burdens on business owners in the aviation sector, particularly related to the Boeing Model 737 series. Compliance costs for inspections and potential replacements are significant, impacting operational budgets.
