737 NG AD

New AD from Boeing regarding cracking in wing centre section “pickle forks” in 737 NG’s.
Wondering if any Aussie aircraft are affected or if inspections are being carried out.

Docket No. FAA-2019-0711; Product Identifier 2019-NM-167-AD; Amendment 39-19755; AD 2019-20-02

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the left and right hand side outboard chords of frame fittings and failsafe straps at a certain station, and repair if any cracking is found. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking discovered in this area. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective October 3, 2019

Based on approximate average landings of 25 per week, some of the QF NGs MFG 2001 (VH VXB) would be coming up for 25,000 cycles. https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/ro...of-boeing-737/
