The typographical error resulted in an incorrect AD number in one location of the document. This AD is applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections for cracking of certain lap splices, and corrective action if necessary. ## The airworthiness directive On page 40761, in the first column, the Product Identification line of AD 2003-14-06 is corrected to read as follows: 2003-14-06 Boeing: Amendment 39-13225. Docket 2003-NM-165-AD. ## Rule preamble ### Dates Effective July 14, 2003. ### For further information contact Duong Tran, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Branch, ANM-120S, FAA, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; telephone (425) 917-6452; fax (425) 917-6590. ### SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2003-14-06, amendment 39-13225, applicable to certain Boeing Model 737-200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, was published in the Federal Register on July 9, 2003 (68 FR 40759). That AD requires repetitive inspections for cracking of certain lap splices, and corrective action if necessary. As published, the AD number appears as “2003-14-60” in the Product Identification line in the regulatory text of the AD. The correct AD number is 2003-14-06. The number is referenced correctly throughout the remainder of the document. Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed, the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register. The effective date of this AD remains July 14, 2003. ## Affected data sheets (1) (OpenAirDocs) The type certificate data sheets whose models the AD names. - [TCDS A16WE](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/A16WE): The Boeing Company; names 5 of 17 models: 737-500 Series, 737-200C Series, 737-300 Series, 737-200 Series, 737-400 Series ## Registered aircraft it may apply to (OpenAirDocs) Matched by airframe and engine model; the AD's applicability may narrow it by serial number, part number or equipment. - Aircraft: 52 (52 by airframe model, 0 by engine model) - Makers: Boeing 52 Models with the most aircraft: - [Boeing 737-400](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-400): 8 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-500](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-500): 6 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-436](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-436): 6 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-300](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-300): 4 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-205](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-205): 3 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-490](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-490): 3 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-484](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-484): 3 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-524](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-524): 3 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-505](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-505): 2 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-200](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-200): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-201](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-201): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-210C](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-210c): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-242C](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-242c): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-301](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-301): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-290C](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-290c): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-401](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-401): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-209](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-209): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-275C](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-275c): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-306](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-306): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Boeing 737-319](https://openairdocs.org/model/boeing-737-319): 1 aircraft (airframe model) All 23 models: https://openairdocs.org/ad/2003-14-06/models.md Every aircraft: https://openairdocs.org/ad/2003-14-06/aircraft.md No proposed rule in this release led to it.
