BACKGROUND
Boeing has received reports from operators of nuisance stick shaker activation while the airplane is accelerating
to cruise speed at the top of a climb. A review of recorded flight data and weather reports indicated that the
cause of the nuisance stick shakers was that the Angle of Airflow (AOA) sensor vanes were frozen and had
become immobilized because the heaters in the AOA sensor were not sufficient to prevent ice build-up in the
faceplate and vane. This can be caused during heavy moisture conditions leading to water entering the AOA
vane pivot and freezing prior to or during flight. If this service bulletin is not done AOA sensors can freeze and
become immobilized, which can result in no stick shaker on the affected side. If the flight crew allows the airplane
to stall at low altitude, the airplane may become unrecoverable.
This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect the AOA sensor(s) installed on the airplane. Also, instructions
are given to replace existing AOA sensors that have heaters that are not sufficient to prevent ice build-up in the
faceplate and vane. Installation of new or serviceable AOA sensor(s) prevents immobilization of the AOA sensor
vane because of ice build-up.

ACTION
Group 1-4:
At STA 290.42 on the left and right side of the airplane, inspect the AOA sensors. If an AOA sensor has an
incorrect part number, replace it with a new or serviceable AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has a correct part
number, no AOA sensor replacement is required.
Group 5-6:
At STA 290.42 on the right side of the airplane, inspect the AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has an incorrect part
number, replace it with a new or serviceable AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has a correct part number, no AOA
sensor replacement is required.
Group 7:
At STA 290.42 on the left side of the airplane, inspect the AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has an incorrect part
number, replace it with a new or serviceable AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has a correct part number, no AOA
sensor replacement is required.

C. Reason
Boeing has received reports from operators of nuisance stick shaker activation while the airplane is
accelerating to cruise speed at the top of a climb. A review of recorded flight data and weather reports
indicated that the cause of the nuisance stick shakers was that the Angle of Airflow (AOA) sensor vanes
were frozen and had become immobilized because the heaters in the AOA sensor were not sufficient
to prevent ice build-up in the faceplate and vane. This can be caused during heavy moisture conditions
leading to water entering the AOA vane pivot and freezing prior to or during flight. If this service bulletin
is not done AOA sensors can freeze and become immobilized, which can result in no stick shaker on
the affected side. If the flight crew allows the airplane to stall at low altitude, the airplane may become
unrecoverable.
This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect the AOA sensor(s) installed on the airplane. Also,
instructions are given to replace existing AOA sensors that have heaters that are not sufficient to prevent
ice build-up in the faceplate and vane. Installation of new or serviceable AOA sensor(s) prevents
immobilization of the AOA sensor vane because of ice build-up.
Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 727-SRP-34-0141 is related to this service bulletin.
Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) 727 FTD 34-15001 is related to this service bulletin.
Boeing Service Letter (SL) 727-SL-34-030-D is related to this service bulletin.
Revision 1 is sent to add airplanes to the service bulletin effectivity.
D. Description
Group 1-4:
At STA 290.42 on the left and right side of the airplane, inspect the AOA sensors. If an AOA sensor
has an incorrect part number, replace it with a new or serviceable AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has
a correct part number, no AOA sensor replacement is required.
Group 5-6:
At STA 290.42 on the right side of the airplane, inspect the AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has an
incorrect part number, replace it with a new or serviceable AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has a correct
part number, no AOA sensor replacement is required.
Group 7:
At STA 290.42 on the left side of the airplane, inspect the AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has an
incorrect part number, replace it with a new or serviceable AOA sensor. If an AOA sensor has a correct
part number, no AOA sensor replacement is required.
Effects of this Revision on airplanes on which Original Issue was previously done:
None.
The work in this service bulletin is done in the maintenance zone(s) given below.

definition of the acronyms.
2. Obey all of the warnings and cautions given in the specified manual sections.
3. Unless shown differently, these dimensions and tolerances are used:
– Linear dimensions are in inches
– Tolerance on linear dimensions, other than rivet and bolt edge margins, is plus
or minus 0.03 inch
– Tolerance on rivet and bolt edge margin is plus or minus 0.05 inch
– Angular tolerance is plus or minus 2 degrees
– Hole dimensions for standard solid rivets and fasteners are in Structural Repair
Manual (SRM) Chapter 51
– Torque Values:
— Values for structural fasteners are given in 727 Structural Repair Manual,
Chapter 51.
— Values for airframe maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of 727
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).
— Values for electrical maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of
Standard Wiring Practices Manual (SWPM).
— Values for engine maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 70 of 727

— Non-standard torque values for maintenance tasks are included in the
applicable installation step.
4. A General Visual Inspection is defined as: A visual examination of an interior or
exterior area, installation or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity.
This level of inspection is made from within touching distance unless otherwise
specified. A mirror may be necessary to enhance visual access to all exposed surfaces
in the inspection area. This level of inspection is made under normally available
lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-light and may
require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders or platforms
may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked.
5. These work instructions refer to procedures included in other Boeing documents.
When the words "refer to" are used and the operator has an accepted alternative
procedure, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words "in
accordance with" are included in the instruction, the procedure in the Boeing document
must be used.

6. If it is necessary to remove more parts for access, you can remove those parts. If
you can get access without removing identified parts, it is not necessary to remove
all of the identified parts. Jacking and shoring limitations must be observed.
7. Where the work instructions include installation of a kept part, a new or serviceable
part with the same part number can be installed as an alternative to the kept part.
8. This service bulletin includes functional test procedures for the systems changed by
this service bulletin. More functional tests can possibly be necessary in accordance
with standard maintenance practices because of interruption to other airplane systems.
9. Use of colors in Figures is based on guidance from the ATA e-Business Program
(ATA) iSpec 2200.
10. When more than one OPTION is given for a CONDITION, do only one of the OPTION
numbers. When more than one ACTION is given for a CONDITION or an OPTION,
do all of the ACTION numbers for that CONDITION or OPTION.
11. The compliance times for the actions in Paragraph 3.B., WORK INSTRUCTIONS
are in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
12. Some steps in the Work Instructions are labeled as Required for Compliance (RC).
If this service bulletin is mandated by an Airworthiness Directive (AD), then the steps
labeled as RC, including sub-steps under an RC step and any figures identified in
an RC step, must be done to comply with the AD. If a step or sub-step is labeled
"RC Exempt," then the RC requirement is removed from that step or sub-step. An
Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) is required for any deviations to RC steps,
including sub-steps and identified figures. Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated
from using accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or
inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC. This is provided that
the RC steps, including sub-steps and identified figures, can still be done as specified,
and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition.
