COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION No more work is necessary on airplanes changed as shown in the original issue of this service bulletin. However, operators must continue with the repeat inspections, lubrication and freeplay checks in accordance with Paragraph 1.E., Compliance. REASON FOR REVISION This revision is sent to change the compliance times of the detailed inspection, lubrication and ballnut-to-ballscrew freeplay check. Instructions on how to accomplish the detailed inspection are replaced by an instruction to do the detailed inspection in accordance with the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) and Part 3 is added to the work instructions to give lubrication instructions. This revision also adds an Airworthiness Directive (AD) statement and removes all figures as the procedures are now accomplished by the AMM. These sections are changed: 1. Summary: – Background: A interim notification of a revision to the Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) statement is removed. – Action: The statement is updated to agree with the updated work instructions. – Compliance: An Airworthiness Directive (AD) statement is added. – Manpower: The manpower table is removed. – Illustration: The summary illustration paragraph is updated. 2. Planning Information: – Paragraph 1.A., Effectivity: A group configuration table is added which splits the effectivity into 3 configurations. – Paragraph 1.C., Reason: A interim notification of a revision to the Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) statement is removed. – Paragraph 1.D., Description: The statement is updated to agree with the updated work instructions and maintenance zones are added. – Paragraph 1.E., Compliance: An Airworthiness Directive (AD) statement is added.

REVISION HISTORY August 07, 2003Original Issue: January 20, 2010Revision 1: BOEING PROPRIETARY - Copyright © Unpublished Work - See page 1 for details. Original Issue: August 07, 2003 757-27A0145Revision 1: January 20, 2010 6 of 27 BOEING SERVICE BULLETIN 757-27A0145 ALERTALERT ### Page 7 Commercial Airplanes 757 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 757-27A0145Original Issue: August 07, 2003 Revision 1: January 20, 2010 ATA System: 2741 SUBJECT: FLIGHT CONTROLS - Horizontal Stabilizer - Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Actuator - Ballscrew Freeplay Inspection Addition and Lubrication Interval Change 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 is being issued to provide a new stabilizer ballscrew lubrication interval and detailed inspection interval. Also, a new stabilizer ballscrew to ballnut freeplay check is included with a recommended check interval. The inspections/check are an added level of protection which reduces the potential of unlikely failure modes of the stabilizer ballscrew assembly used on the stabilizer actuator. The inspections/check can be run in-situ on the airplane. After an MD-80 horizontal stabilizer jackscrew incident, a design review was initiated of the Boeing heritage horizontal stabilizer ballscrews. During this review, an operator reported a 757 horizontal stabilizer ballscrew with extensive corrosion. An investigation was initiated. This investigation identified that a maintenance procedure to check the stabilizer ballscrew primary load path was required. Loss of the horizontal stabilizer ballscrew primary and secondary load paths, although extremely improbable, could potentially result in the loss of control of the airplane. Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 757-SRP-27-0153 is related to this service bulletin. NOTE: Service Bulletin 757-27-0138 served as an interim maintenance action related to 757-SRP-27-0153. Service Bulletin 757-27A0145 is the final maintenance recommendation related to 757-SRP-27-0153. Upon release of Service Bulletin 757-27A0145, operators should perform the maintenance actions in that bulletin rather than those in Service Bulletin 757-27-0138. However, it should be noted that Service Bulletin 757-27-0138 includes one maintenance action that is not included in Service Bulletin 757-27A0145: lubrication of the stabilizer pivot hinges. Lubrication of the stabilizer pivot hinges was included in Service Bulletin 757-27-0138 as a convenience; it is unrelated to the safety issue addressed in safety 757-SRP-27-0153. Boeing recommends that operators continue to perform the stabilizer hinge lubrication task per 757 MPD Volume 1 Section 5, and 757 AMM 12-21-05.

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 table below shows an estimate of the task hours necessary to do the detailed inspection, lubrication and freeplay check for each airplane.
