CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Cracks have been reported in the aft pressure bulkhead web on numerous 737-200/-300 airplanes inspected as shown in service bulletin 737-53A1214. In all of the cases, the cracks ran in the circumferential direction along the aft row of fasteners connecting the web assembly to the bulkhead "Y" chord. These cracks occurred in the S-6L and S-6R areas. The 737-600/700/700C/800/900 airplanes have a similar structure for the aft pressure bulkhead and could experience the same type of fatigue damage. If cracks are allowed to continue undetected the airplane could have an uncontrolled decompression.

The aft pressure bulkhead has been determined to be structure that is susceptible to Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued Airworthiness Directive AD 2005-21-06 which requires incorporation of this service bulletin.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 737NG-SRP-53-0183 and 737NG-SRP-53-0473 are related to this service bulletin.

The data given in Alternative Method of Compliance Notice 737-53A1248 AMOC 01 is included in this revision.

As an option to doing an inspection from the aft side of the bulkhead, it is acceptable to do a High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) and Detailed Inspection from the forward side of the bulkhead.

When performing an inspection from the aft side, if either a crack, crack indication, discrepant fastener hole, or corrosion is found, you must get access to the forward side of the bulkhead and do an HFEC and a Detailed Inspection to inspect for cracks from the forward side. Do the HFEC inspection for circumferential cracks along the aft row of fasteners at the "Y" chord for the section of web where the crack, crack indication, discrepant fastener hole, or corrosion was found. It is not necessary to do the HFEC inspection beyond the web splices of the web section containing the crack, crack indication, discrepant fastener hole, or corrosion. Do the Detailed Inspection for cracks in the web and for incorrectly drilled or elongated fastener holes. At the crack indication fastener location(s), remove the fastener(s) and do an HFEC open hole inspection. Refer to Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) section 9 for additional inspection requirements.

Repeat inspections may be performed from either the aft or forward side of the aft pressure bulkhead at the times indicated in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.

If any crack, crack indication, discrepant fastener hole, or corrosion is found, repair before further flight.
