3. COMPLIANCE The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an Airworthiness Directive related to Requirements Bulletin 737-57A1344 RB. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in Requirements Bulletin 737-57A1344 RB mandatory.

Accomplish the required actions, based on the applicable conditions in Tables 1 and 2 in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions.

When more than one OPTION is given for a CONDITION, do only one of the OPTION numbers. When more than one ACTION is given for a CONDITION or an OPTION, do all of the ACTION numbers for that CONDITION or OPTION.

Group 1:

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.

4. APPROVAL This Requirements Bulletin was examined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The changes specified in this document comply with the applicable regulations and are FAA approved, as well as European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)/Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) approved for all EASA/JAA approved airplanes listed in the service bulletin effectivity. This document and its approval were based on the airplane in its original Boeing delivery configuration or as modified by other Boeing changes.

If an airplane has a non-Boeing modification or repair that affects a component or system also affected by this Requirements Bulletin, the operator is responsible for obtaining appropriate regulatory agency approval before incorporating this Requirements Bulletin.

5. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS A. GENERAL INFORMATION NOTE: 1. This is an Enhanced Required for Compliance document. There will be a separate Service Bulletin (SB) and a separate Requirements Bulletin (RB). If an RB is mandated by an Airworthiness Directive (AD), then all applicable requirements specified in the RB must be done. For the related SB, some locations are marked RC Start and RC End to identify the requirements that are restated from the RB. For the related SB, the areas between RC Start and RC End, including sub-steps and any figures identified between RC Start and RC End, must be done to comply with the AD.

Therefore, an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) is required for any deviations to steps between RC Start and RC End, including substeps and identified figures.

For the related SB, the steps not between RC Start and RC End may be deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC; this is provided that the steps between RC Start and RC End, including sub-steps and identified figures, can still be done as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition.

Figures not required for compliance are omitted from the RB.

2. This is an Enhanced Required for Compliance document. The Boeing processes used to create the Service Bulletin (SB) and the Requirements Bulletin (RB) ensure that the information between "RC Start" and "RC End" in the SB are identical to the information in the same sections (Compliance, Work Instructions...) of the RB which the SB refers to as the related document.

3. The compliance times for the actions in WORK INSTRUCTIONS are in Compliance.

4. Boeing Service Letter 737-SL-51-042, Damage Reporting and Repair Plan/Design Guidelines, is an acceptable procedure to request information from Boeing for additional structural repair instructions. The Service Letter describes what information must be provided to Boeing before a structural repair can be provided.

5. Unless shown differently, these dimensions and tolerances are used:

– Linear dimensions are in inches – Tolerance on linear dimensions, other than rivet and bolt edge margins, is plus or minus 0.03 inch – Tolerance on rivet and bolt edge margin is plus or minus 0.05 inch – Angular tolerance is plus or minus 2 degrees – Hole dimensions for standard solid rivets and fasteners are in Structural Repair Manual (SRM) Chapter 51 – Torque Values:

— Values for structural fasteners are given in 737 Structural Repair Manual, Chapter 51.

— Values for airframe maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of 737 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).

— Values for electrical maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of Standard Wiring Practices Manual (SWPM).

— Values for engine maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 70 of 737 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).

ALERTALERT

— Non-standard torque values for maintenance tasks are included in the applicable installation step.

6. These work instructions refer to procedures included in other Boeing documents.

When the words "refer to" are used and the operator has an accepted alternative procedure, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words "in accordance with" are included in the instruction, the procedure in the Boeing document must be used.

7. If it is necessary to remove more parts for access, you can remove those parts. If you can get access without removing identified parts, it is not necessary to remove all of the identified parts. Jacking and shoring limitations must be observed.

8. A General Visual Inspection is defined as: A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity.

This level of inspection is made from within touching distance, unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to enhance visual access to all exposed surfaces in the inspection area. This level of inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-light and may require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked. Basic cleaning may be required to ensure appropriate visibility.

9. When more than one OPTION is given for a CONDITION, do only one of the OPTION numbers. When more than one ACTION is given for a CONDITION or an OPTION, do all of the ACTION numbers for that CONDITION or OPTION.

B. WORK INSTRUCTIONS Actions Required for Compliance

1. Requirements Group 1:

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.
