ALERTALERT Service Bulletin Number: 747-53A2507 Summary Original Issue: April 21, 2005 Revision 1: January 14, 2010 ATA System: 5310 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Stretched Upper Deck Frame and Tension Tie - Inspection and Repair
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 gives instructions for inspection and repair of upper deck tension ties and adjacent frame structure on stretched upper deck (SUD) airplanes. The tension ties have been determined to be structure that is susceptible to Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD). WFD could cause tension ties to become severed or disconnected from the frames. Severed or disconnected tension ties and/or frames at multiple locations could result in rapid in-flight decompression of the airplane.
For more information about WFD, refer to Boeing Service Letter 747-SL-53-088A.
Tension ties are installed just aft of the floor beams that support the upper deck. Tension ties are installed at Stations (STA) 1120, 1140, 1160, 1180, 1200, and 1220 and extend from the left side to the right side of the airplane.
During routine maintenance an operator found two severed upper deck tension ties at STA 1120 and STA 1140.
The cause of the severed tension ties was fatigue cracking due to an incorrect configuration. As a result of this report, Boeing released Service Bulletin 747-53-2483 which recommended a one time inspection to make sure proper configuration and a crack free condition.
During inspections per Service Bulletin 747-53-2483 one operator found severed tension ties at both STA 1120 and STA 1140 at approximately 14,000 total flight cycles, and a second operator found a severed tension tie at STA 1120 at approximately 28,000 total flight cycles. For these three additional severed tension tie reports, the tension tie configuration was as shown on Boeing Engineering Drawings.
Original Issue: April 21, 2005 Revision 1: January 14, 2010 747-53A2507 BOEING PROPRIETARY - Copyright © Unpublished Work - See page 1 for details. 10 of 114 BOEING SERVICE BULLETIN 747-53A2507
ALERT ALERT
In addition, before the original issue of this service bulletin, operators reported finding 10 cracks in tension ties, 10 broken fasteners, 9 cracks in frames adjacent to tension ties, and 8 cracks in the shear ties adjacent to the tension ties. The cracks and broken fasteners were at STA 1120, STA 1140, STA 1160, STA 1180, STA 1200, and STA 1220. There were also 4 reports of cracks in the shear web between the STA 1120 and STA 1140 tension ties. For these additional reports, the airplanes had between 7,000 and 28,000 total flight cycles.
Subsequent to the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, one operator reported that three adjacent tension ties were found severed on a 747-300 series airplane with approximately 18,400 flight cycles. Another operator reported that two adjacent tension ties were found severed on a 747-300 series airplane with approximately 14,000 flight cycles. In addition, multiple operators have reported finding cracks in tension ties and frames during inspections per the original issue of this service bulletin. Due to these reports, Boeing finds it necessary to reduce the compliance times and repeat intervals for the inspections recommended by this service bulletin.
In addition to receiving multiple crack reports after the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, Boeing has determined that Stage 2 inspections should include open hole eddy current inspection at twelve additional fastener locations in the STA 1140 tension tie inboard of the aluminum straps. The aluminum straps create load conditions in the STA 1140 tension tie that could cause cracks at these additional fastener locations, which are farther inboard than where eddy current inspections are done on other tension ties.
Also, due to operator reports of a mislocated angle common to the shear panel, a one-time inspection has been added to inspect for the mislocated angle and install a new angle in the correct location, as necessary. A mislocated angle could lead to cracks in the shear panel.
Also, Boeing has determined that it is necessary to add a one-time inspection of fastener holes in the frames of Boeing Special Freighter and Boeing Converted Freighter airplanes at locations where tension ties existed before freighter modification. These fastener holes were not inspected during modification at Boeing.
Inspection is necessary to ensure the fastener holes are crack free.
This service bulletin provides instructions for inspections and repair of the tension ties and frames at the aft end of the upper deck.
The tension ties and frames have been found to be structually significant in that they are critical to the structural integrity of the airplane. Tension tie and frame cracks not found before they reach critical crack lengths can cause in-flight depressurization.
Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-53-0215 is related to this service bulletin.
Modification Service Bulletin 747-53A2559 has been released to address Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD) in the tension ties and adjacent frame structure. Accomplishment of Service Bulletin 74753A2559 will terminate the repeat inspection requirements of this service bulletin. For more information about WFD, refer to Boeing Service Letter 747-SL-53-088A.
ACTION Get access to the frame to tension tie joints at STA 1120 through STA 1220. Do Stage 1 or Stage 2 inspections for cracks, and broken, loose, or missing fasteners in the tension ties, the shear webs, and the attached frames.
If cracks are found, or if broken, loose, or missing fasteners are found, do the repairs given in this service bulletin before the airplane is returned to service. Repeat inspections at the specified intervals.

ALERT ALERT
This service bulletin contains a flight safety inspection program. The flight safety inspection program is the minimum inspection program to maintain the structural integrity of the affected area of the airplane. An optional economics based inspection, to be done earlier than the flight safety inspection, would usually be included in this type of bulletin. However, for this area there is no economics based inspection program. The repair necessary when a crack is found in the flight safety inspection is the same as the repair necessary if a crack is found earlier.
