Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 737-57A1277Original Issue: July 25, 2002 Revision 3: May 16, 2012 ATA System: 5752 SUBJECT: WINGS - Trailing Edge Flaps - Outboard Flap Carriage Spindle - Inspection for Cracking

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None

BACKGROUND This service bulletin provides instructions for the inspection of the outboard midflap carriage spindles and will ensure that the carriage spindles are not fractured.

42 severed outboard midflap carriage spindles (resulting from corrosion, fatigue and/or improper overhaul) have been reported by 23 operators. The most critical section for a fracture is at the forward end of the spindle through the large diameter. Of the 42 reported fractures, 24 have been thru the critical "A" location and 18 reported at the "B" spindle location . The fractures occurred on 737-200/-300/-400/-500 airplanes.

If one carriage spindle fractures in the forward end of the spindle (the critical section), the pilot can compensate for it with inputs to the aileron and/or rudder. However, if both the inboard and outboard spindles fracture in the critical section on an outboard flap, continued safe flight and landing of the airplane may be precluded.

Boeing received a recent report about a 737-200 having both inboard and outboard spindles (number 7 & 8 carriage spindles) severed on the right outboard flap during landing. The flight crew reported a loud bang at approximately 500 feet AGL followed by the airplane rolling off hard to the right. Corrective action was required to maintain level flight. As a result, a gap check was developed to detect severed spindles only at the critical "A" location. Whereas, the NDT inspection, in the previous issue of this service bulletin, checks the critical "A" location thru the "B" location up to the cross bolt for the spherical bearing.

ACTION Extend the flaps. For the left and right midflaps, do an NDT inspection or Gap Check of the spindle at each carriage (two carriages per midflap) at the specified time. The NDT inspection or Gap Check will detect a fracture in the spindle. If the spindle is fractured or severed, remove it from service, discard it, and notify Boeing. Then, install a new or serviceable carriage spindle. If you notice corrosion at the exposed portion of the spindle, remove the carriage and overhaul the spindle.

EFFECTIVITY All 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 airplanes.
