Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 737-53A1200Original Issue: April 13, 2006 Revision 2: September 12, 2012 ATA System: 5313 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Structure Around Openings - Forward Entry and Forward Galley Service Doorway Upper and Lower Hinge Cutout - Inspection

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Accomplishment of the inspections in this service bulletin will detect cracks in the skin, bearstrap and frame outer chords in the upper and lower hinge cutout areas of the forward entry and forward galley service doorways.

Cracks that originate in the bearstrap or frame outer chord may not be detected with current inspection programs.

If cracks in the skin, bearstrap and frame outer chord are not detected they could cause a rapid decompression of the airplane.

There have been multiple reports of cracks in the skin, bearstrap, and/or frame outer chord in the hinge cutout areas of the forward entry and forward galley service door cutouts. Forward entry doorway bearstrap cracks have been reported on an airplane with as few as 24,538 flight cycles. Forward galley service doorway bearstrap cracks have been reported on an airplane with as few as 24,423 flight cycles. One operator reported a severed bearstrap, severed STA 291.5 frame, and 14.5 inch long crack in the skin at the forward galley service doorway lower hinge cutout. The airplane had accumulated 61,297 flight cycles.

Since the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, there have been fifteen reports of cracks in the skin and/or bear strap at the forward galley service doorway hinge cutouts when the airplane had less than 40,000 total flight cycles. The lowest reported flight cycles on an airplane with a crack was 24,423 total flight cycles. This airplane had a 0.55 inch long crack in the skin. There were no cracks in the bear strap. There have also been four reports of cracking under repairs installed at the hinge cutouts in accordance with the Structural Repair Manual (SRM).

Service Related Problem (SRP) 737-SRP-53-0134 and 737-SRP-53-0315 are related to this problem.
