Commercial Airplane Group 747 Service Bulletin Number: 747-53A2484 Summary Date: June 26, 2003 Revision 1: February 12, 2009 ATA System: 5311 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Stringer 8 And 10, Body Station 460, 480, And 500 - Inspection, Modification And Repair - 747 SUD Airplanes

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Inspection of fuselage stringers adjacent to the window belt on the upper deck on 747 airplanes with Stretched Upper Decks (SUD) will make sure that stringer cracks do not grow to include the fuselage skin at the window areas of the upper deck. If stringer cracks at these locations are not found and repaired, the cracks can grow to include the fuselage skin along the window belt of the upper deck. Such skin cracks can result in extensive damage to the skin at the window belt, with related rapid decompression of the fuselage.

Operators have told Boeing about cracks in the fuselage Stringers 8L, 8R, 10L and 10R at the Body Station 460, 480 and 500 frame locations. The airplanes in these reports had between 29,873 and 90,333 flight-hours, and between 9,691 and 25,513 flight cycles.

Installation of the repair shown in this service bulletin (new frame clips and new, additional stringer splice and doublers) will restore the stringers’ strength. For locations where no stringer cracks are found, installation of the preventive modification shown in this service bulletin (new frame clips and a new load-spreading doubler) will prevent stringer cracks form occurring.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-53-0174 is related to this service bulletin.

Boeing Structural Item Interim Advisory (SIIA) 747-178 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION Get access to Stringers 8 and 10, on the left and right side of the airplane upper deck, between Body Stations (BS) 440 and 520. At Stringers 8L, 8R, 10L and 10R, do a detailed inspection of the stringers where the frame clips attach to the stringers, at BS 460, BS 480 and BS 500 frame locations. If cracks are found, install repairs as given in this service bulletin (if cracks exceed the repairable length as given in this service bulletin, use data from the 747 Structural Repair Manual with data given in this service bulletin to make the necessary repairs).

Do the inspections again at the times given in Paragraph 1.E., "Compliance". To stop the special inspections given in this service bulletin, install the preventive modification shown in this service bulletin.

The airplane effectivity is divided into four groups, Group 1 airplanes are also in the effectivity of Service Bulletin 747-53A2265, and have 100 Degree countersink rivets installed in the fuselage skin. Group 2 airplanes are also in the effectivity of Service Bulletin 747-53A2265, and have special 120 Degree countersink rivets installed in the fuselage skin. Group 3 airplanes are not in the effectivity of Service Bulletin 747-53A2265, and have special 120 Degree countersink rivets installed in the fuselage skin. Group 4 airplanes have been modified to the 747- 400 Large cargo Freighter (LCF) configuration.

EFFECTIVITY 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-300, 747-400, and 747-400D airplanes.
