Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 737-53A1329Original Issue: June 04, 2013 ATA System: 5330 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Skin - Forward Entry Doorway - Lower Corners - Inspection and Repair

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect the lower corners of the forward entry doorway for cracking on airplanes that do not have an airstair door cutout. If the work in this service bulletin is not done, continued crack progression can result in possible rapid decompression.

Boeing has received five reports of cracking in the skin at the lower aft corner of the forward entry doorway on airplanes that do not have an airstair door cutout. The cracks ranged from 0.25 to 2.0 inches in length. The airplanes had accumulated between 34,813 and 73,083 total flight cycles. Cracks in the lower corners of the forward entry doorway are caused by fatigue loads in the skin and bear strap which are magnified by local stress concentrations due to the door cutout and edge margin effects at fastener locations near the corner radius.

Additionally, cracks can be initiated from impact damage due to high usage rate of the forward entry door.

Accomplishment of the work in this service bulletin will make sure that cracking at the lower corners of the forward entry doorway on airplanes that do not have an airstair door cutout is detected and a repair installed.

Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1083 gives instructions for the inspection, modification and repair of the lower corners of the forward entry doorway on airplanes that have an airstair door cutout.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 737-SRP-53-0381 is related to this service bulletin.
