BACKGROUND
This service bulletin is sent to provide instruction to replace the aluminum Transmission Aft Bearing Plate
Assemblies with new titanium Transmission Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies. If the work given in this bulletin is
not completed, then the aluminum Transmission Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies could be damaged in extreme
loading conditions such as flap jams or skews. Under these conditions, damaged Transmission Bearing Plate
Assemblies could stop the flap transmission from working correctly and could result in loss of flap control.
Alternatively, if failure of one of the other components in the flap attachment or flap drive system were to occur,
the resulting redistribution of loads could result in damage to the aft bearing plate assemblies, potentially causing
detachment of the flap transmission from its flap track and possible flap departure, resulting in loss of controllability
of the airplane.
Boeing has done an analysis of the aluminum Transmission Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies. Each airplane has
eight Transmission Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies, one at each of the eight flap track locations. Static strength
analysis has shown that the aluminum Transmission Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies have inadequate strength
for one or more of the required load cases, including cases for drive system jam, flap skew, and structural
damage tolerance. These types of load cases can cause a flap transmission torque brake trip, which will then
cause additional loading on the Transmission Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies common to that flap. This could
cause damage to the Transmission Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies. The new titanium Transmission Aft Bearing
Plate Assemblies have increased strength to prevent any potential damage caused in these high load cases.
Boeing has determined this scenario by analysis and has not yet received any reports of damaged Transmission
Aft Bearing Plate Assemblies from operators.
NOTE: The work given in this service bulletin is a terminating action for the repeat inspections in Boeing Service
Bulletin (SB) 747-57-2347. Each work package in this SB can be completed independently and is
considered a terminating action for inspections in SB 747-57-2347 at that flap track only. Repeat
inspections given in SB 747-57-2347 must continue at all flap tracks where the modification given in
this SB has not been completed.

F. Approval
This service bulletin was examined by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The changes specified
in this service bulletin comply with the applicable regulations and are FAA approved, as well as European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)/Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) approved for all EASA/JAA approved
airplanes listed in the service bulletin effectivity. This service bulletin and its approval were based on
the airplane in its original Boeing delivery configuration or as modified by other approved Boeing
changes.
If an airplane has a non-Boeing modification or repair that affects a component or system also affected
by this service bulletin, the operator is responsible for obtaining appropriate regulatory agency approval
before incorporating this service bulletin.
G. Manpower
The tables below show an estimate of the task hours necessary to do this modification for each flap
track. This estimate is for direct labor only, done by an experienced crew. Adjust the estimate with
operator task hour data if necessary. The estimate does not include lost time. These are some examples
of lost time:
• Time to adjust to the workplace
• Time to schedule the work
• Time to inspect the work
• Time to cure the materials
• Time to make the parts
• Time to find the tools.
