CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD) analysis of the 737NG, as required by 14 CFR 26.21(b), has resulted in the conclusion that the existing 737-600/700/800/900 MPD Section 9, Airworthiness Limitation Instruction (ALI) inspection program is not sufficient to preclude the occurrence of WFD in the S-14L and S-14R lap splice, lower fastener rows between STA 360-540 and STA 727-887 as the airplane ages. These lap splices have multiple adjacent identical details which have the potential for Multi-Site Damage (MSD) and the potential for WFD. 14 CFR 26.21 requires evaluation of such designs for the potential for WFD and implementation of the appropriate service actions to ensure that WFD is precluded out to the Limit of Validity (LOV). Boeing has not received any in-service fleet reports of cracks in these lap splices. Accomplishment of the inspections described in this service bulletin will enable detection and repair of cracks if they should occur, at these lap splices. If widespread fatigue cracking is not found and repaired, the cracks can rapidly link up and can result in possible rapid decompression and loss of structural integrity.

This Service Bulletin provides more frequent external inspection of the S-14 lap splices in order to prevent WFD out to the LOV.

The fuselage skin S-14L and S-14R lap splice lower fastener row between STA 360 to STA 540 and STA 727 to STA 887 has been determined to be structure that is susceptible to WFD.
