COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2013-23-03 is related to this service bulletin. More work is required on airplanes with an actuator attach fitting 65B08564-7 installed which accomplished PART 3: OUTBOARD FLAP, INBOARD ACTUATOR ATTACH FITTING - MINIMUM THICKNESS INSPECTION in accordance with the Original Issue of this service bulletin. These airplanes should do PART 3: OUTBOARD FLAP, INBOARD ACTUATOR ATTACH FITTING - MINIMUM THICKNESS AND MACHINING DEFECT INSPECTION to determine if the machining defect is present and accomplish any required follow-on actions within the compliance time in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an additional Airworthiness Directive related to Revision 1 of this service bulletin. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in Revision 1 of this service bulletin mandatory. REASON FOR REVISION This revision is sent to: 1. Add an inspection for a machining defect that can reduce the durability of the fitting. During inspection of the actuator fittings, many actuator attach fittings 65B08564-7 were found to have a machining defect, visible under the protective finishes, in the area where the tapered machining transitioned to the hemispherical machining at the top of the inner surface. 2. Limit the compliance time that fitting assemblies with a wall thickness 0.130 inch or greater and less than 0.140 inch and do not have a machining defect can remain in-service, to 48 months or 3,000 flight-cycles after the Original Issue date of this service bulletin, whichever occurs first.

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 The inspections and replacement in this service bulletin will help prevent fracture of the outboard flap, inboard actuator support fitting assembly (no. 2 or no. 7 gimbal). A fractured inboard actuator fitting combined with the loss of the outboard actuator load path could result in the uncontrolled retraction of the outboard flap and subsequent damage to flight control systems at the rear spar. Uncontrolled retraction of the flap or damage to flight control systems could lead to reduced controllability of the airplane. One operator reported the fracture of a 65B08564-7 actuator attach fitting. The actuator attach fitting had approximately 5,500 flight-cycles and 20,600 flight-hours. The actuator attach fitting was installed by service bulletin 747-57A2316. The actuator attach fitting fractured in the internal conical machined area. Inspection of the actuator attach fitting revealed that a portion of the interior surface was machined with a cylindrical profile instead of a conical profile. This results in reduced wall thickness. The thickness of the fitting in the cylindrical area was approximately half the design wall thickness. The operator inspected the remaining airplanes in their fleet and found another actuator attach fitting with the cylindrical defect with a wall thickness below design requirements. An inspection of spare 65B08564-7 actuator attach fittings at Boeing revealed some actuator attach fittings with the cylindrical defect with reduced wall thicknesses. In addition, some actuator attach fittings which did not have the cylindrical defect had wall thicknesses which were below design requirements. Reduced wall thickness results in the inability of the actuator attach fitting to carry required loads. Some of the actuator assemblies inspected at Boeing also were found to have a machining defect at the point where the tapered machining transitioned to the hemispherical machining at the top of the inner surface. This defect was visible under the finishes. This defect could eventually lead to fatigue cracks and subsequent fracture. This service bulletin provides instructions to inspect and replace 65B08564-7 no. 2 and no. 7 actuator attach fittings which could have insufficient wall thickness or the machining defect.

Spares Affected Examine your spares supply for the parts or components identified below. If any parts or components are found, refer to Paragraph 3.B., Work Instructions for the recommended action. Part Number 65B08564-7 B. Concurrent Requirements None. C. Reason The inspections and replacement in this service bulletin will help prevent fracture of the outboard flap, inboard actuator support fitting assembly (no. 2 or no. 7 gimbal). A fractured inboard actuator fitting combined with the loss of the outboard actuator load path could result in the uncontrolled retraction of the outboard flap and subsequent damage to flight control systems at the rear spar. Uncontrolled retraction of the flap or damage to flight control systems could lead to reduced controllability of the airplane.

Original Issue: September 12, 2013 747-57A2343Revision 1: June 23, 2014 22 of 68 BOEING SERVICE BULLETIN 747-57A2343 ALERTALERT ### Page 23 One operator reported the fracture of a 65B08564-7 actuator attach fitting. The actuator attach fitting had approximately 5,500 flight-cycles and 20,600 flight-hours. The actuator attach fitting was installed by service bulletin 747-57A2316. The actuator attach fitting fractured in the internal conical machined area. Inspection of the actuator attach fitting revealed that a portion of the interior surface was machined with a cylindrical profile instead of a conical profile. This results in reduced wall thickness. The thickness of the fitting in the cylindrical area was approximately half the design wall thickness. The operator inspected the remaining airplanes in their fleet and found another actuator attach fitting with the cylindrical defect with a wall thickness below design requirements. An inspection of spare 65B08564-7 actuator attach fittings at Boeing revealed some actuator attach fittings with the cylindrical defect with reduced wall thicknesses. In addition, some actuator attach fittings which did not have the cylindrical defect had wall thicknesses which were below design requirements. Reduced wall thickness results in the inability of the actuator attach fitting to carry required loads. Some of the actuator assemblies inspected at Boeing also were found to have a machining defect at the point where the tapered machining transitioned to the hemispherical machining at the top of the inner surface. This defect was visible under the finishes. This defect could eventually lead to fatigue cracks and subsequent fracture. This service bulletin provides instructions to inspect and replace 65B08564-7 no. 2 and no. 7 actuator attach fittings which could have insufficient wall thickness or the machining defect. Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-57-0264 is related to this service bulletin. Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) 747 FTD 57-13003 is related to this service bulletin. Revision 1 is sent to: 1. Add an inspection for a machining defect that can reduce the durability of the fitting. During inspection of the actuator fittings, many actuators were found to have a machining defect, visible under the protective finishes, in the area where the tapered machining transitioned to the hemispherical machining at the top of the inner surface. 2. Limit the compliance time that fitting assemblies with a wall thickness 0.130 inch or greater and less than 0.140 inch and do not have a machining defect can remain in-service, to 48 months or 3,000 flight-cycles after the original issue date of this service bulletin, whichever occurs first.
