737-500 Series / 737-900 Series / 737-100 Series

AT A GLANCE

Revision 82 adds the 737-10 to A16WE, with an October 20, 2026 approval date, engine eligibility, oil-consumption and weight limits, five passenger/exit configurations, and detailed certification-basis entries. It extends existing Section XI provisions to that model while distinguishing its brakes, doors, flight-deck view, air-data systems and alerts. Changes affecting the broader MAX listing include addition of mini-suite Exemption 21477 and replacement of the fuel-tank-flammability ELOS reference. Existing-model limits and serial-number lists otherwise remain unchanged. The removal of the §25.673 entry is identified separately because its intent is not explained in the supplied documents. These findings do not determine aircraft compliance, installation approval or retrofit obligations.

The model list and Section XI now include the 737-10, dated October 20, 2026. The combined engine/rating table lists LEAP-1B28 and LEAP-1B28B1 at 29,317 lb takeoff and 28,690 lb maximum continuous thrust, and LEAP-1B27 at 28,037 lb and 27,272 lb, for the 737-10. Engine Type Certificate No. E00088EN remains the reference. The 737-10 maximum oil-consumption rate is 0.79 US quarts per hour. Existing-model engine eligibility, ratings and oil rates are retained; the former separate rating table and its applicability footnotes are incorporated into the combined table. The engine-limits cross-reference is renamed accordingly.

A new 737-10 column lists maximum taxi weight of 198,400 lb, maximum takeoff weight of 197,900 lb, maximum landing weight of 167,400 lb and maximum zero fuel weight of 160,000 lb. Revision 81 had no 737-10 weight column. Values for the other four Section XI models are unchanged.

Revision 82 adds passenger limits for five 737-10 configurations: 189 seats with the Mid-Cabin Emergency Door (MED) de-activated; 210 with MED activated as a Type III exit with an attendant station; 215 as Type II; 220 as Type I; and 230 as Type C. No 737-10 passenger entry appeared in Revision 81. The existing starred 737-8200 main-cabin occupancy limitation remains unchanged and is not attached to the 737-10 entries.

The application date is listed as December 6, 2021 for the 737-10. Its Part 25 basis is Amendments 25-0 through 25-146, with exceptions permitted by 14 CFR 21.101. Table A-1 gains a 737-10 column and extends the listed performance, handling, loads, structure, construction and flight-control provisions to it, including their stated exceptions and ADRCs. The §25.571(b) ELOS applicability note now includes the 737-10. The §25.307 nacelle and §25.621 casting-factor exceptions remain 737-7-only. The unusual printed citation 24.143(j) is retained. A 737-10 eligible-serial-number heading is added, but no serial numbers are entered beneath it; the existing model lists are unchanged.

The general §25.561 and §25.562 entries now include the 737-10. The pilot-seat N/A entries for §25.562(c)(5) and (c)(6), previously split across two rows, are combined into one row; the separate §25.562(c)(6) row now lists only the flight-deck observer seat. This regrouping preserves the existing pilot-seat exceptions rather than creating new ones. Exemptions 6425E and 17652 remain cited.

The §25.673 “Two-control Airplanes” row, marked N/A and “Not applicable” in Revision 81, is absent from Revision 82. The supplied documents do not explain why it was removed. No change to aircraft controls or a replacement certification requirement can be concluded from this deletion.

The §25.735 general basis at Amendment 25-108 includes the 737-10, but the mixed-amendment mechanical brake-control exception and its flow-limiter/parking-brake note are expressly limited to 737-8/-9/-8200/-7. The same four-model restriction is added to mechanical brake-control exceptions under §25.899, §25.1309, §25.1360, §25.1365(d), §25.1431(d) and §25.1435(a), (b)(2). Thus those exceptions are not extended to the 737-10. Other common construction, landing-gear, lighting and safety-equipment entries within these difference groups gain 737-10 applicability.

For the 737-10, §25.773 is listed at Amendment 25-144, with windshield-wiper §25.773(b) and window-heat §25.773(b),(c) entries at 25-108; §25.775 is at 25-38. Door and PSEU entries add 737-10 at 25-88 where shown, while its MED remains at 25-114. The former combined §25.783(e)(3),(e)(4) N/A row is split: (e)(3) remains 737-7-only, and (e)(4) covers 737-7/-10 for the listed doors and EE subsystems, excluding the 737-10 MED. Related door rows now expressly state these exceptions. The 737-7 (e)(4) exception already existed in Revision 81.

Common seat, stowage, interior, ditching, evacuation and exit entries now include the 737-10. Its §25.795(b)(1) flight-deck smoke-protection basis is listed at Amendment 25-106, alongside the 737-9, rather than under Exemption 18060, whose model restriction is unchanged. The §25.795(c)(2) security-survivability ADRC now includes the 737-10. The §25.809 exceptions for listed doors and flight-deck window mechanisms are extended to it, as is the §25.809(a) ADRC at 25-72 in lieu of 25-116, addressing viewing outside closed exits in all lighting conditions. The 737-7-only §25.807(d)(1)/(g) provisions are not extended to the 737-10.

The §25.841(a)(2)(i) structural-failure ADRC previously identified for the 737-7 now also covers the 737-10. For failures prescribed by §25.841(a)(3), it specifies no more than 161 seconds of cabin-altitude exposure to 25,000 feet and flight-test validation of the analytically predicted time, with the stated alternative of §25.841(a)(2)(i) at Amendment 25-87. The common pressure-test, cabin fire-protection and related entries also gain 737-10 applicability; their existing-model values are unchanged.

The remaining common systems and appendix entries gain 737-10 applicability, retaining the printed amendment levels, N/A designations and area-specific exceptions. These cover powerplant, fuel/oil, electrical, fire protection, instruments, oxygen, recorders, operating information and EWIS. The §25.903(b) thrust-reverser exception at 25-100 and §25.903(e) engine-start/restart ADRC at 25-140 now include the 737-10. The §25.975(a)(7) N/A entry also includes it. Appendix H entries use 25-146 for 737-7/-10, and Appendices M and N use 25-145. The source’s “Appendix L to Part 27” citation is retained. Appendix O gains an explicit “Not Applicable” note consistent with its existing N/A designation. The common icing ADRC reference now includes 737-10 under §25.21(g)(2).

The full §25.1309 Amendment 0 exception for the Air Data Sensor Heat System is expressly limited to 737-8/-9/-8200/-7. A separate 737-10-only row lists §25.1309(b),(c),(d) at Amendment 0 for that system. This distinguishes the paragraphs covered by the 737-10 exception from the full-section exception retained for the earlier models.

The lightning/HIRF entries extend the limited ADIRU/ADM, boom-microphone headset, DME/VOR/MB antenna and VHF antenna exceptions to the 737-10 where listed. LRRA is separated from ILS/GLS and restricted to 737-8/-9/-8200/-7 under §25.1316(a) and §25.1317(a), so it is not included in those 737-10 exceptions. RAM-air inlet/exhaust ducts are likewise restricted to those four models under §25.1316(b) and §25.1317(c). Auto Heat Relay A entries and the applicable windshield-wiper entry include 737-10. The ADRC HLCL A model groups now include 737-10; Special Condition 25-ANM-132(1), DO-160 Revision G, and the stated Category R testing reference to DO-160 Revision C Change 3 or later are retained.

A new §25.1322(d)(2) row lists Amendment 25-131 for 737-10 Overspeed/Stall Warning alerts. That paragraph remains N/A for the earlier models and for other 737-10 alerts. The §25.1323(i) exception at 25-109 is extended to the listed 737-10 ADIRS, air-data heat and pitot/elevator-feel probe areas. The §25.1325(b) exception at 25-108 adds 737-10 ADIRS and static-port installations and extends the air-data heat entry to 737-7/-10. Common instrument and electrical entries in the group also gain 737-10 applicability.

Section XI’s general special-condition, exemption and ELOS applicability statements now include the 737-10. The special conditions remain 25-347-SC, 25-610-SC, 25-358-SC, 25-386-SC, 25-ANM-132(1), 25-404-SC, 25-550-SC, 25-551-SC, 25-632-SC and 25-757-SC, with their existing dates/effectivity. The general exemption extension preserves the printed restrictions for 17241, 17590, 18060 and 21006A. Exemptions 17768, 17768A and 17768B for §25.807(g)(7) explicitly add 737-10. ELOS PS12-0039-C-1 for §25.807(g), §25.813(a) also adds 737-10; its title still refers to Boeing Model 737-9 Airplanes. ELOS PS21-0181-F-1 remains 737-8/-9-only.

Exemption 21477, dated 11/8/2023, is newly listed in this TCDS comparison for §25.813(e), covering emergency-exit access for installation of mini-suite systems with sliding doors. Revision 81 had no corresponding entry. The row has no additional model restriction in the comments column; this listing does not itself determine an installation approval.

The ELOS table replaces PS12-0038-P-2-NGS, formerly titled “Fuel Tank Flammability Rule (FTFR)” for §25.981(b)(2), with PS05-0177-P-2, titled “Fuel Tank Flammability Reduction Rule.” The listed regulations expand to §25.981(b), (b)(1), (b)(2), Appendix M and Appendix N. This is a changed technical reference and scope, not text reflow. The supplied documents do not provide the memoranda themselves for further interpretation.

A new 737-10-only table lists PS17-0010-A-11 for the engine-nacelle thrust-reverser inner-wall bond panel, citing 25.609(a)(2) and compliance with 14 CFR 25.609 exactly as printed. It also lists PS17-0010-C-11 for the passenger limit on Boeing Model 737-10 Airplane, citing 25.807(g) and (g)(7). Neither entry appeared in Revision 81.

The 737-7 noise-basis paragraph is extended to 737-10: Part 36 Stage 4 through Amendment 36-31 at application, elected advancement to 36-32, and ICAO Annex 16, Volume I, Amendment 14. The manual lists add Structural Repair Manual D634A243 and Weight and Balance Control and Loading Manual D636A100 for 737-10. Note 2 adds 737-10 to basic AFM D631A002. Note 3’s D626A011 and D626A011-9-01 through -04 references already included -10 in Revision 81 and are not new references in Revision 82.

Note 4 adds 737-10 to the type-design suitability finding for up to and including 180-minute ETOPS under 14 CFR §25.3(b)(1) and 25.1535, when operated and maintained in accordance with D044A032. The statement that this is not approval to conduct ETOPS remains. Note 5 adds 737-10 to the RVSM statement referencing AC 91-85. The 737-8200 remains outside the ETOPS suitability model list.
