Commercial @ GOEING Airplanes 717 Service Bulletin

- ALERT Number: 717-53A0034 Summary Original Issue: October 05, 2011 ATA System: 5310 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Main Frame - Inspect Overwing Frames for Cracks

THIS BULLETIN IS SENT TO THE OPERATORS OF RECORD OF THE AIRPLANES SHOWN IN PARAGRAPH

1.A., EFFECTIVITY. IF AN AIRPLANE HAS BEEN LEASED OR SOLD, SEND THIS SERVICE BULLETIN TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS SERVICE BULLETIN TO THE NEW OWNER.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND There have been over forty reports of overwing frames cracking on MD-80 airplanes having logged between 19,876 and 41,166 flight cycles. There is one report of a cracked overwing frame on an MD-90 airplane, and one report of a crack on a 717 airplane. The 717 airplane had 18,235 flight-hours and 14,542 landing cycles Due to similarity in frame design, the 717 airplanes are susceptible to cracks. The cracks, which originate in the upper radius of the frame inboard tab just below the floor, were caused by fatigue. Boeing has determined that 717 overwing frames at Stations Y=674.000. Y=696.000 and Y=715.000 are also susceptible to this type of failure. All the noted frames are a part of 717 Principal Structural Element (PSE) 53.30.02.11. Inspection of the overwing frames at Stations Y=674.000, Y=696.000 and Y=715.000, left and right sides will determine if cracks exist. If not corrected, an undetected crack may sever the frame, which may increase the loading of adjacent frames and result in damage to adjacent structure and extensive repair, or ultimately could lead to the loss of overall structural integrity of the airplane.

ACTION This service bulletin provides instructions to do a general visual inspection and a high frequency eddy current inspection of the overwing frames at Stations Y=674.000, Y=696.000 and Y=715.000, left and right sides. The purpose of these inspections is to detect fatigue cracks in the upper radius of the frame tab. Based on inspection results, do as tollows:

Condition 1 (No Crack Found on Any Frame) Does repetitive general visual inspections and high frequency eddy current inspections of the overwing frames for cracks and does as follows:
