Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 737-52A1167Original Issue: December 01, 2011 ATA System: 5280 SUBJECT: DOORS - Landing Gear Doors - Inboard Main Landing Gear Door Hinge Fittings - Inspection and Replacement

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 This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect the inboard main landing gear (MLG) door hinge fittings for any cracks. Undetected cracks in the inboard MLG door hinge fittings can lead to hinge fitting failures, which can cause departure of the inboard MLG door assemblies to occur. The inboard MLG door assembly departure may impact and damage control surfaces, which could lead to reduced controllability of the airplane.

One operator reported an inboard MLG door assembly departure on a 737-700 airplane with 24,114 flight cycles.

This was the first reported instance of inboard MLG door assembly departure that Boeing has received on this particular model.

Boeing has conducted an analysis on the inboard MLG door assembly and found that the cracks in the inboard MLG door hinge fittings are caused by fatigue due to vibration when the landing gears are deployed. The analysis confirmed that the premature fatigue failure of the inboard MLG door hinge fittings resulted in the departure of the inboard MLG door assembly.

A new and improved inboard MLG door hinge fitting has been designed to have a better durability. Production incorporation of the new and improved inboard MLG door hinge fitting affects airplanes line number 3829 and on.

This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect the existing inboard MLG door hinge fittings for any cracks.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 737NG-SRP-52-0097 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION (PRR 38275-176S) Install safety equipment for the access of the MLG door. Do a detailed inspection or surface high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection of the inboard MLG door hinge fittings. If no crack is found, repeat the inspection or do the modification of the inboard MLG door hinge fitting assemblies as a preventative modification. If any crack is found, do the modification of the inboard MLG door hinge fitting assemblies. The modification installs new and improved inboard MLG door hinge fitting assemblies and terminates the repeat inspection requirements of this service bulletin. Put the airplane back to a serviceable condition.

EFFECTIVITY 737-600/-700/-700C/-800/-900/-900ER airplanes. Refer to Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes, for the list of affected airplanes.

COMPLIANCE The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an Airworthiness Directive related to this service bulletin. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in this service bulletin mandatory.

Refer to Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION Boeing warranty remedies are available for 737 airplanes in warranty as of July 6, 2010. Please refer to Paragraph
