Commercial Airplanes 747 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 747-53A2682Original Issue: May 08, 2008 Revision 1: May 24, 2012 ATA System: 5331 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Skin - Section 42 Fuselage Frame Shear Tie End Fasteners - External Skin Crack Inspection

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 to do external inspections of the Section 42 skin for cracks at fuselage frame shear tie end fastener locations. Cracks in the fuselage skin can propagate and become large, resulting in a loss of structural integrity and a sudden decompression of the airplane in-flight.

Fuselage frame shear ties are an integral part of the load bearing airframe structure, and are located between longitudinal stringers.

The inspection for skin cracks at fuselage frame shear tie end fastener locations as given in this service bulletin is between Station 540 to 980 (STA 780 on 747SP airplanes), Stringer 23 to 47 left and right side. This issue is a part of the wide-spread fatigue damage (WFD) assessment for the model 747 airplanes. It is one of the structural details that have been determined by analysis and fleet history to be susceptible to WFD and requires service action in the form of inspections and/or modification.

Since the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, one operator has reported finding three skin cracks at fastener holes common to STA 540 frame shear tie between S-23L and S-25L. The affected airplane had T-shaped shear ties in the inspection area and was not in the effectivity of the original issue of this service bulletin. Based on these reports of cracks in T-shaped shear ties, airplane line numbers 758 through 1419 (except Large Cargo Freighter airplanes) have been added to the bulletin effectivity.

Boeing Service Related Problems (SRP) 747-SRP-53-0299 and 747-SRP-53-0352 are related to this service bulletin.

Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) 747-FTD-53-09006 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION Station 540 to 980 (STA 780 on 747SP series airplanes), Stringers 23 to 47, left and right sides, do an external detailed inspection or external high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection for skin cracks at fuselage frame shear tie end fastener locations. If an external repair doubler exists in the inspection area and the upper or lower fastener row of the doubler is common to a shear tie end fastener, do an internal HFEC inspection of the skin next to the shear tie.

If no cracks are found, repeat inspections are required. See Paragraph 1.E., Compliance. If cracks are found, repair as given in the applicable 747 Structural Repair Manual (SRM).

EFFECTIVITY 747-100/-100B/-100B SUD/-200B/-200C/-200F/-300/-400/400D/-400F/SP/SR Airplanes. Refer to Paragraph

1.A.1 Airplanes, for the list of affected airplanes.

COMPLIANCE Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2009-06-02 is related to this service bulletin.
