COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
Boeing 737 Series Aeroplanes
AD/B737/13 Horizontal Stabilizer Centre Section 2/88
Applicability: All model 737 aircraft, Line Numbers 1 to 316, 323 and 324. Requirement: Inspect in accordance with Boeing SB 737-55A1029 Revision 3.

Background: Fatigue cracking has been detected in a lug on an overseas aircraft. Failure to detect cracks in these lugs may result in the separation of the horizontal stabilizer from the aircraft.
