Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 737-57A1334Original Issue: September 26, 2017 ATA System: 5743 SUBJECT: WINGS - Landing Gear Attach Fittings - Main Landing Gear Beam Forward Support Fitting - Inspection and Repair

THIS DOCUMENT IS SENT TO THE OPERATORS OF RECORD OF THE AIRPLANES SHOWN IN PARAGRAPH 1.A., EFFECTIVITY. IF AN AIRPLANE HAS BEEN LEASED OR SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OWNER.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Accomplishment of this service bulletin will detect cracks in the Main Landing Gear (MLG) beam forward support fitting. If this service bulletin is not done, undetected cracks in the MLG beam forward support fitting can result in a fuel leak or lead to the inability of a principal structural element to carry limit load, or MLG collapse that could prevent continued safe flight and landing.

During a repair of the right wing rear spar, one operator reported crack indications in the MLG beam forward support fitting. Other operators have reported MLG beam forward support fitting cracking around the fastener locations common to the rear spar web below the upper chord on the inboard side of the Wing Buttock Line (WBL) 157 rib. Cracks were found on airplanes from 62,706 to 65,827 flight hours and 50,152 to 53,039 flight cycles. Cracks in the MLG beam forward support fitting at this location are entirely hidden. The forward side of the fitting (inside fuel tanks) is hidden by sealant and the aft side of the fitting is hidden by the rear spar web and MLG Beam. MLG beam forward support fitting cracks would not be reliably detected during normal maintenance therefore requiring additional inspections.

This Service Bulletin gives instructions for the inspection of the MLG beam forward support fitting for any crack to make sure they are found and repaired before they reach a critical length that could prevent continued safe flight operation.

Boeing endorses the FAA rules related to Limit of Validity (LOV) and recommends immediate and permanent removal from service of any airplanes upon reaching the LOV, whether or not it is operated under FAA jurisdiction.

As such, Boeing no longer provides maintenance instructions for airplanes that have accumulated flight cycles beyond the LOV. Airplanes in Group 1 (line numbers 1-291) have accumulated flight cycles beyond the LOV of the maintenance program. 14 CFR 121.1115 and 129.115 prohibit operation of an airplane beyond its LOV.

Group 2, Configuration 1, 3, 5:

For airplanes without a freeze plug installed in the inspection area, remove fasteners from the MLG beam forward support fitting and do an open hole High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection for any crack. If no crack is found, repeat the open hole HFEC inspection. If any crack is found in one fastener hole location, ream the fastener hole to remove the crack and install a freeze plug. Repeat inspection in new configuration (Group 2, configuration 2, 4, or 6). If any crack is found in more than one fastener hole location, contact The Boeing Company for repair instructions and do the repair. Install fasteners.

Group 2, Configuration 2, 4, 6:

For airplanes with a freeze plug installed in the inspection area, do a surface HFEC inspection at the freeze plug repaired hole. At the locations without a freeze plug, remove fasteners and do open hole HFEC inspections for any crack. If no crack is found, repeat surface and open hole HFEC inspections. If any crack is found, contact The Boeing Company for repair instructions and do the repair. Install fasteners.

EFFECTIVITY All 737-100, 737-200, 737-200C, 737-300, 737-400, and 737-500 airplanes. Refer to Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes, for the list of affected airplanes.
