1 and No. 4 Outer Spring Beam Support Fitting Fastener Holes - Inspection, Repair, and Fastener Installation Change

THIS DOCUMENT 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 DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OWNER.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Accomplishment of this service bulletin will find and repair cracks in the fastener holes on the horizontal tang of the outer spring beam support fittings of the No. 1 and No. 4 pylons. If any crack is not found and repaired, a complete failure of the outer spring beam support fitting for any of the spring beams installed on the No.1 and No. 4 pylons can occur. A complete failure of the outer spring beam support fitting on the No. 1 and No. 4 pylons could result in possible separation of a strut and engine from the airplane during flight.

During an open hole high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection while accomplishing SB 747-54-2233, an operator found cracks in both the aluminum strut side skin and corrosion resistant steel (CRES) outer spring beam support fitting. Both fittings on the right and left side of the No.4 outboard pylon of the airplane were reported to have cracks. The cracking of the strut side skin was also visible upon detailed inspection with magnifying optics. On the left side of the pylon, on the horizontal tang of the fitting, 6 out of 14 fastener holes were reported to have cracks. On the right side, on the same horizontal tang, 4 out of 14 fasteners holes were reported with cracks. Boeing has done a detailed analysis of the cracking reports and has found that the fastener hole cracking is due to fatigue of the strut side skin and outer spring beam support fitting joint.

This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect for cracks in the strut side skin, chord, outer spring beam support fitting, and bulkhead, and necessary repairs for the fastener holes in the affected area of the outer spring beam support fitting. Also, this service bulletin gives modification instructions to install protruding head fasteners in the affected area of the outer spring beam support fitting, which terminates repeat inspections given in this service bulletin.
