Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 737-57A1335Original Issue: May 24, 2017 ATA System: 5730 SUBJECT: WINGS - Plates/Skin - Upper Aft Skin at and Forward of the Rear Spar from Wing Buttock Line 159 to 220 - Inspection

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 make sure that cracks are found in the upper aft skin (inspar upper skin) of the left and right wing at and forward of the rear spar from Wing Buttock Line (WBL) 159 to WBL 220.

If this service bulletin is not done, undetected cracks in the upper aft skin can lead to the inability of a principal structural element to sustain flight load which could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

While performing inspections in accordance with SB 737-57-1318, one operator reported two crack indications in the right wing upper aft skin originating from fastener holes common to the rear spar upper chord at WBL

172.30 and WBL 197.38. The cracks were found on airplanes with 58,148 flight hours and 45,512 flight cycles to 64,204 flight hours and 51,409 flight cycles. Stresses are locally influenced by the bend in the rear spar causing higher cyclic fatigue stresses.

This service bulletin provides instructions to inspect the upper aft skin and forward of the rear spar for any crack from WBL 159 to WBL 220 and make sure any crack is found and repaired before it reaches a critical length.

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. 737 Classic airplanes 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:

Deactivate the trailing edge flap system. Do a detailed inspection for any crack in the upper aft skin from WBL 159 to WBL 220. If any crack is found, contact The Boeing Company for repair instructions and do the repair.

Repeat the detailed inspection in the unrepaired areas. If no crack is found, repeat the detailed inspection.

Activate the trailing edge flap system.

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.

COMPLIANCE The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an Airworthiness Directive related to this service bulletin. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in this service bulletin mandatory.

Refer to Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION Boeing warranty remedies are not available for the inspection given in this service bulletin.
