THIS BULLETIN 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 SERVICE BULLETIN TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS SERVICE BULLETIN TO THE NEW OWNER.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND This service bulletin will reduce the possibility of water penetration into the main equipment center (MEC).

Cracking of the MEC drip shield gutters has allowed water to drip past the MEC drip shield and through the exhaust plenum into the MEC. Water penetration into the MEC could result in loss of flight critical systems.

An operator experienced a multi power system loss in-flight of #1, 2 & 3 AC electrical power systems located in the MEC. The loss of AC power engaged the emergency back-up power system, allowing the plane to land safely.

The forward MEC drip shield gutters and exhaust plenum have each been identified as part of the leak path into the MEC. Multiple operators have reported cracked MEC drip shield gutters and upper surface. These cracks can allow water to penetrate the MEC drip shield and enter the MEC.

This service bulletin will install aluminum gutter reinforcing brackets to correct the cracking in the MEC drip shield gutters. Flanged sleeves and drain tubes will be installed in the lower surface of the exhaust plenum to allow water to drain away from the MEC as an interim action. A fiberglass reinforcing overcoat will be installed as a terminating action.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-25-0277 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION (PRR 85901-95RS) All operators will add aluminum gutter reinforcing brackets to forward and aft MEC drip shield gutters. Due to the difficulty of accessing the top surface of the MEC drip shield, an interim action is available. The interim action installs flanged sleeves and drain tubes to the lower surface of the exhaust plenum. The terminating action is to add a fiberglass reinforcing overcoat to the MEC drip shield.

EFFECTIVITY 747-400/-400D Airplanes. Refer to Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes for the list of affected airplanes.

COMPLIANCE Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making 2010-NM-035-AD, is related to this service bulletin.

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.
