Commercial Airplanes 747 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 747-53A2499Original Issue: August 11, 2005 Revision 2: August 12, 2010 ATA System: 5331 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Skin - Section 41, 42, and 46 Body Skin Lap Joint Inspections and Modifications
CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.
BACKGROUND This service bulletin gives data for the inspection and repair of certain fuselage skin longitudinal lap joints. These inspections and repairs are necessary for safe operation of airplanes past the design goal for economic usage.
Boeing has completed extended pressure fatigue tests on a 747-100SR and a 747-400 fuselage test article.
Analysis of these test results have identified areas of the fuselage lap joints where fatigue cracks can occur.
Boeing has also used updated analysis methods on the 747 skin longitudinal lap joints. Inspection and repair of these areas is necessary for safe operation of airplanes past the design goal for economic usage.
The inspections in this service bulletin will make sure that fatigue cracks in the overlapping skin at the upper row of fasteners in certain fuselage lap joints are found and repaired before they become critical. Skin cracks not detected prior to reaching critical crack length may result in the inability to withstand current regulatory fail-safe loads, in-flight depressurization of the airplane or loss of structural integrity.
Revision 1: Subsequent to the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, a review of all lap joints was accomplished for the affected airplanes. It was determined that all lap joints with an upper skin thickness of
0.090 inches or less should be inspected at the times given in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance. In addition, a review of all service bulletins which recommend repeat inspections was accomplished to determine if the inspections were appropriate on aging airplanes. This review indicated that certain lap joints where the skin thickness is less than or equal to 0.071 inches should be modified at the times given in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-53-0211 and 747OP-SRP-53-0279 are related to this service bulletin.
ACTION (PRR 85901-91RS) Lap joint inspection

Original Issue: August 11, 2005 747-53A2499Revision 2: August 12, 2010 7 of 297
Do external High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspections of certain lap joints for cracks. These lap joints are in Section 41, Section 42, and Section 46. In addition, do internal and external Low Frequency Eddy Current (LFEC) inspections at certain doublers common to these lap joints. If no cracks are found, do the inspection again at the time shown in this service bulletin. If cracks are found, remove the fastener in the cracked hole and sufficient adjacent fasteners and do open hole HFEC inspections to find the crack length. Repair before any more flights. Repair as shown in the structural repair manual or ask Boeing for repair data. As part of the repair, do open-hole HFEC inspections of the skin at all existing fastener locations common to the repair.
Lap joint modification Do eddy current inspections of the lap joints in sections 41 and 42 that will be modified. If cracks are found, repair the cracks and contact Boeing for lap joint modification instructions. For areas where no cracks are found, do the lap joint modifications.
EFFECTIVITY 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F airplanes. Refer to Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes for the list of affected airplanes.
