Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Abstract
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that certain passenger seat assemblies were not correctly installed in the seat tracks. This proposed AD would require a detailed inspection of the seat track fittings of each left and right side track-mounted passenger seat assembly for correct installation and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
