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 Refer to Paragraph 1.B., Concurrent Requirements.

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

Cracking of the MEC drip shield 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 an electrical short and potential loss of several functions essential for safe flight.

Cracking in the MEC drip shield and exhaust plenum have each been identified as part of the leak path into the MEC. Multiple operators have reported a cracked MEC drip shield. These cracks can allow water to penetrate the MEC drip shield and enter the MEC.

This service bulletin is related to service bulletin 747-25A3588 which includes repairs of drip shield cracks, stiffens the drip shield top surface, and installs a fiberglass reinforcing overcoat to the top and sides of the drip shield. Boeing has received reports of additional cracking of the drip shield which is not mitigated by SB 747-25A3588. The reported additional cracking occurs at the lower radius of the MEC drip shield, adjacent to the floor beams.

This service bulletin will install a fiberglass reinforcing overcoat to the lower radius area of the MEC drip shield to prevent cracking. This will help prevent water intrusion into the MEC.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-25-0318 is related to this service bulletin.
