Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200 (737 MAX) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports indicating cracks in the bear strap and stub frame at the forward galley door cutout. This proposed AD would require inspections for existing repairs; an inspection for any crack of the fuselage skin, bear strap, and stub frame; repetitive inspections for any crack of the bear strap and stub frame; and applicable on-condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
