What the agency says
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-25- 17, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. AD 2019-25-17 required revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit selection of certain runways for airplanes equipped with certain software. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-25-17, Boeing has developed new software to address the unsafe condition. This AD was prompted by reports of display electronic unit (DEU) software errors on airplanes with a selected instrument approach to a specific runway. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2019-25-17. This AD also requires installing the new software and performing a software configuration check, which terminates the AFM revision. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
