5.    ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE: 1. This is an Enhanced Required for Compliance document. There w ill be a separate
Service Bulletin (SB) and a separate Requirements Bulletin (RB). If an RB is mandated
by an Airworthiness Directive (AD), then all applicable requirements specified in the
RB must be done. For the related SB, some locations are marked RC Start and RC
End to identify the requirements that are restated from the RB. For the related SB,
the areas between RC Start and RC End, including sub-steps and any figures
identified between RC Start and RC End, must be done to comply with the AD.
Therefore, an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) is required for any deviations
to steps between RC Start and RC End, including substeps and identified figures.
For the related SB, the steps not between RC Start and RC End may be deviated
from using accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or
inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC; this is provided that the
steps between RC Start and RC End, including sub-steps and identified figures, can
still be done as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition.
Figures not required for compliance are omitted from the RB.
2. This is an Enhanced Required for Compliance document. The Boe ing processes
used to create the Service Bulletin (SB) and the Requirements Bulletin (RB) ensure
that the information between "RC Start" and "RC End" in the SB are identical to the
information in the same sections (Compliance, Work Instructions...) of the RB which
the SB refers to as the related document.
3. The compliance times for the actions in WORK INSTRUCTIONS are  in Compliance.
4. Boeing Service Letter 747-SL-51-048, Damage Reporting and Rep air Plan/Design
Guidelines, is an acceptable procedure to request information from Boeing for
additional structural repair instructions. The Service Letter describes what information
must be provided to Boeing before a structural repair can be provided.
5. Unless shown differently, these dimensions and tolerances are  used:
– Linear dimensions are in inches
– Tolerance on linear dimensions, other than rivet and bolt edge  margins, is plus
or minus 0.03 inch
– Tolerance on rivet and bolt edge margin is plus or minus 0.05 inch
– Angular tolerance is plus or minus 2 degrees
– Hole dimensions for standard solid rivets and fasteners are in  Structural Repair
Manual (SRM) Chapter 51
– Torque Values:
— Values for structural fasteners are given in 747 Structural Repair Manual,
Chapter 51.
— Values for airframe maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of 747
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).
— Values for electrical maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of
Standard Wiring Practices Manual (SWPM).
— Values for engine maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 70 of 747
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).

— Non-standard torque values for maintenance tasks are included in the
applicable installation step.
6. These work instructions refer to procedures included in other  Boeing documents.
When the words "refer to" are used and the operator has an accepted alternative
procedure, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words "in
accordance with" are included in the instruction, the procedure in the Boeing document
must be used.
7. Where the work instructions include installation of a kept pa rt, a new or serviceable
part with the same part number can be installed as an alternative to the kept part.
8. If it is necessary to remove more parts for access, you can r emove those parts. If
you can get access without removing identified parts, it is not necessary to remove
all of the identified parts. Jacking and shoring limitations must be observed.
9. Use the approved fastener, process and material substitutions  in accordance with
SRM Chapter 51.
10. A Detailed Inspection is defined as: An intensive examinatio n of a specific item,
installation or assembly to detect damage, failure or irregularity. This could include
tactile assessment in which a component or assembly can be checked for
tightness/security. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source
of good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as mirrors
and magnifying lenses may be necessary. Surface cleaning and elaborate access
procedures may be required.
11. When more than one OPTION is given for a CONDITION, do only one of the OPTION
numbers. When more than one ACTION is given for a CONDITION or an OPTION,
do all of the ACTION numbers for that CONDITION or OPTION.
12. If the length of any fastener specified in this service bull etin does not meet installation
standards given in SRM Chapter 51, then a fastener of the same specification, or
an approved substitute, with a length which meets the installation standards given
in SRM Chapter 51 may be used. In addition, washers may be installed for fastener
grip length in accordance with SRM Chapter 51. Refer to SOPM 20-50-01 for alternate
full threaded fasteners (screws) needed for installation in this service bulletin.
13. Manual titles are referred to by acronyms. Refer to Paragrap h 1.J., References, for
definition of the acronyms.
14. Obey all of the warnings and cautions given in the specified  manual sections.
15. Some Boeing parts are supplied in a temporary configuration.  Those parts are
identified with a 'U', 'W', or 'Y' in place of the '-' (dash) in the part number. It is
permitted to install parts identified with a 'U', 'W', or 'Y' as an alternative to the '-'
(dash) part number. Boeing Drawing 005W0900 contains more data.

(a) In accordance with drawing 624U4122 sheet 2.
(b) Remove the Angle Of Attack (AOA) sensor. Keep at least two fasteners attached to the tripler for the
modification to make sure the tripler does not move.
(c) Do an open hole High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection for any crack at hole locations where
fasteners were removed, in accordance with 747 NDT Manual Part 6, 51-00-00, Procedure 1, 11, or 16.
If any crack is found, contact The Boeing Company for repair instructions and do the repair.
(d) Locate the forward and aft structural fillers, forward and aft external doublers, and splice plate at stringer
S-23 in the correct orientation. Make sure the forward and aft structural fillers, and forward and aft external
doublers are flush with the existing skin with the clad surface facing outboard.
(e) Back drill from existing fastener locations, and locate and drill new fastener locations.
(f) Trim the material edge, maintain a 2D minimum fastener edge margin for existing fasteners. Make sure
the trim line provides enough space for the new fasteners to maintain a 0.25 inch minimum distance from
existing internal doubler edges for clearance of the fastener heads. All internal and external trim radii
should be 0.50 inches minimum unless noted otherwise.
(g) Trim a circular cutout in the forward external doubler to match the hole for the AOA sensor in the existing
skin.

AOA sensor in the existing tripler are between 0.2180 - 0.2290 inches, and the holes through the new
filler common to the AOA sensor are +/- 0.005 inches with the position holes in the existing tripler.
(o) Install 7 countersunk fasteners and measure the resistance from the uninstalled fastener surface to the
nearest adjacent skin rivet. Make sure the bonding resistance is 10.00 milliohms maximum. Install the final
countersunk fastener. Refer to SWPM 20-20-00 as an accepted procedure.
(p) Fill the gap between the forward external doubler and the AOA sensor base with BMS 5-142, TYPE II.
Make sure the sealant is flush with the adjacent surfaces. Refer to SOPM 20-50-19 as an accepted pro-
cedure.
(q) The surface of the AOA sensor base adjacent to the index holes must be flush with the forward external
doubler surface. Make sure the AOA sensor base surface is within + or - 0.010 inches of the forward ex-
ternal doubler surface. Apply BMS 5-142, TYPE II, aerodynamic sealant to the forward external doubler
to smooth the mismatch of the AOA sensor. Refer to SOPM 20-50-11 as an accepted procedure.
(r) Use the AOA sensor base plate and the external skin as contact surfaces to measure the bonding resis-
tance. Make sure the bonding resistance is 0.010 ohm or less. Refer to SWPM 20-20-00 as an accepted
procedure.
(s) Apply BMS 5-142, TYPE II, aerodynamic sealant along the edges of the external doubler, structural filler
and splice plate. Refer to SOPM 20-50-11 as an accepted procedure.

(e) Back drill from existing fastener locations, and locate and drill new fastener locations.
(f) Trim the material edge, maintain a 2D minimum fastener edge margin for existing fasteners. Make sure
the trim line provides enough space for the new fasteners to maintain a 0.25 inch minimum distance from
existing internal doubler edges for clearance of the fastener heads. All internal and external trim radii will
be 0.50 inches minimum unless noted otherwise.
(g) Trim a circular cutout in the forward external doubler to match the hole for the AOA sensor in the existing
skin.
(h) Break sharp edges and maintain surface roughness of 125 microinches or better.
(i) In accordance with drawing 624U4123 sheet 5.
(j) If the edge margin of the existing hole location and edge of structural filler is less than 1.7D, make a cutout
in the structural filler and install filler. Break sharp edges and maintain surface roughness of 125 microinches
or better.
(k) If the fasteners interfere with the forward external doubler, it is acceptable to countersink the fasteners
flush with the skin surface.
(l) Apply BMS 5-95 fay surface sealant to structural filler, external doubler, splice plate, skin and all common
surfaces. Refer to SOPM 20-50-19 as an accepted procedure.
(m) Apply chemical conversion coating to holes in filler. Refer to SOPM 20-43-03 as an accepted procedure.
(n) Install the AOA sensor under the existing AOA sensor flange. Make sure the two position holes for the
AOA sensor in the existing tripler are between 0.2180 - 0.2290 inches, and the holes through the new
filler common to the AOA sensor are +/- 0.005 inches with the position holes in the existing tripler.
(o) Install 7 countersunk fasteners and measure the resistance from the uninstalled fastener surface to the
nearest adjacent skin rivet. Make sure the bonding resistance is 10.00 milliohms maximum. Install the final
countersunk fastener. Refer to SWPM 20-20-00 as an accepted procedure.
(p) Fill the gap between the forward external doubler and the AOA sensor base with BMS 5-142, TYPE II.
Make sure the sealant is flush with the adjacent surfaces. Refer to SOPM 20-50-19 as an accepted pro-
cedure.
(q) Make sure the surface of the AOA sensor base adjacent to the index holes is flush with the forward external
doubler surface. Make sure the AOA sensor base surface is within +/ - 0.010 inches of the forward external
doubler surface. Apply BMS 5-142, TYPE II, aerodynamic sealant to the forward external doubler to
smooth the mismatch of the AOA sensor. Refer to SOPM 20-50-11 as an accepted procedure.
(r) Use the AOA sensor base plate and the external skin as contact surfaces to measure the bonding resis-
tance. Make sure the bonding resistance is 0.010 ohm or less. Refer to SWPM 20-20-00 as an accepted
procedure.
(s) Apply BMS 5-142, TYPE II, aerodynamic sealant along the edges of the external doubler, structural filler
and splice plate. Refer to SOPM 20-50-11 as an accepted procedure.
