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 Accomplishment of the inspection program detailed in this bulletin will make sure the structural integrity of the Body Station 760 or 780 (as applicable) tension tie throughout the operational life of the airplane. Undetected tension tie cracking could eventually result in in-flight depressurization of the airplane and the inability to withstand current regulatory failsafe loads.

Inspection of the fatigue test airplane after the equivalent of 12,000 flight-cycles revealed a crack in the BS 760 tension tie as a result of bending due to cabin pressurization.

Structural reassessment of the 747 airplane has been conducted under the requirements of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 91-56, in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 25.571 as amended in 1978, to ensure the safe operation of 747 airplanes throughout their operational life. As a result of this reassessment, the BS 760 or 780 (as applicable) tension tie has been determined to be structurally significant in that it is critical to the structural integrity of the airplane. Tension tie cracking not detected prior to it reaching critical crack length may result in in-flight depressurization of the airplane and the inability to withstand current regulatory failsafe loads.

Therefore, a flight-safety inspection program which will continue throughout the operational life of the airplane is defined in this service bulletin.

The upper deck tension ties have been determined to be structure that is susceptible to Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD).

For more information about WFD, refer to Boeing Service Letter 747-SL-53-088.

The flight safety inspection is the minimum inspection program to maintain the structural integrity of the affected area of the airplane. The economics based inspection, applicable to airplanes on which the modification described herein has not been incorporated, may be used in lieu of the flight safety inspection, at operator's option, until the modification is incorporated. The modification described herein will improve the resistance to cracking of the tension tie but does not alter the structural environment of the tension tie such that a flight safety inspection is not required. It does enable the initiation of the flight safety inspection to be deferred and increases the reinspection interval.

Flight Safety Inspection Program - Do a detailed inspection and a surface High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection for cracking in the outboard ends of each affected tension tie. If any cracking is found within specified limits, do the modification. If any cracking is found out of specified limits, contact Boeing for repair instructions and do the work instructed by Boeing. If no cracking is found, repeat the inspections until the tension tie is repaired or modified.

Do the tension tie modification at the time in accordance with Paragraph 1.E., Compliance. The modification consists of replacing the existing tension tie doubler with a longer doubler.

At tension tie locations that have been repaired or modified, do a detailed inspection for any cracking. If any cracking is found in a repaired or modified tension tie, contact Boeing for repair instructions and do the work instructed by Boeing. If no cracking is found, repeat the inspections at the times in accordance with Paragraph

1.E., Compliance.

Economic Inspection Program - The economics based inspections (detailed and surface HFEC inspections at operator's option) are used to detect cracking at an earlier stage. If any cracking is found within specified limits do the modification. If cracking is found out of specified limits, contact Boeing for repair instructions and do the work instructed by Boeing. If no cracking is found, repeat the inspections until the tension tie is repaired or modified.

EFFECTIVITY 747-100, 747-200B, 747-200F Airplane(s). Refer to Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes, for the list of affected airplane(s).

COMPLIANCE Refer to Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 84-19-01 is related to this service bulletin.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION This service bulletin was first released before October of 1994. Thus industry support for affected airplanes depends upon whether the operator previously filed a warranty claim with Boeing on this service bulletin.
