BACKGROUND
This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect that a modification to the aft cargo side panel attach tabs and
frames; STA 1640 frame; and STA 1380 and STA 1440 intercostals, clips and angles is complete. If modification
is not complete, this service bulletin gives instructions to inspect for any crack on the frames from STA 1200 to
STA 1640 at the cargo floor interfaces between stringers S-26 and S-27; and to modify the attachments between
the frames and the cargo floor. Accomplishment of the work in this service bulletin will make sure that the
modification of the body frames at the aft cargo compartment panel attach points and intercostals are complete,
to reduce the probability of cracks in the lower lobe frames and side panels. If the work given in this service
bulletin is not accomplished, a frame crack at the panel attach point may go undetected and grow in length. An
undetected crack could result in reduced structural integrity of the body frames at the aft cargo panel attachment
points. Failure of multiple frames could lead to rapid decompression of the airplane.
Fatigue testing of two 757 airframes indicates body frames in the aft cargo compartment may crack at the side
panel to frame attachment.
In one fatigue test airframe, numerous fractured cargo compartment side panel attach fasteners, cracked side
panel attach tabs at right side STA 1380, cracked frames at left side STA 1320, 1400, 1500, 1540, 1560 and
right side STA 1540 were found at 34,600 equivalent flight cycles.
In the second fatigue test airframe, several fractured side panel attach fasteners and cracked frames at right
side STA 1580 and 1600 were found at 62,500 equivalent flight cycles. These frame cracks originated at the
side panel to frame attach fastener rivet hole and propagated from fastener hole to fastener hole through the
frame inner chord, web and fail-safe chord.

Cracks have already been reported in fuselage frames in the aft cargo compartment at STA 1340, 1400, 1420,
1500, 1520 and 1580 between S-26 and S-27 on the left and right sides, at the intersection with the side cargo
compartment panel installation. The cracking has been attributed to fatigue at the associated frame attachment
fastener hole, as a result of an unmodified or de-modified interface between the affected frame and the cargo
floor.
These cracks may be associated with airplanes that have had the modification removed. Widespread Fatigue
Damage (WFD) analysis identified the need for the inspections and modifications of frames from STA 1320
through STA 1620.
The modification as given in the original issue of this service bulletin was not mandated, and has been removed
on two airplanes that were converted, and may have been removed on more. Airplane line numbers 37 - 51
should have been reworked in production but the rework may not have been accomplished or may have been
de-modified.
The fuselage frames from STA 1320 through STA 1620 in this service bulletin have been determined to be
structure that is susceptible to Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD).
Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) 757 FTD 53-14001 is related to this service bulletin.

tabs and frames; STA 1640 frame; and STA 1380 and STA 1440 intercostals, clips and angles is
complete. If modification is not complete, this service bulletin gives instructions to inspect for any crack
on the frames from STA 1200 to STA 1640 at the cargo floor interfaces between stringers S-26 and
S-27; and to modify the attachments between the frames and the cargo floor. Accomplishment of the
work in this service bulletin will make sure that the modification of the body frames at the aft cargo
compartment panel attach points and intercostals are complete, to reduce the probability of cracks in
the lower lobe frames and side panels. If the work given in this service bulletin is not accomplished, a
frame crack at the panel attach point may go undetected and grow in length. An undetected crack could
result in reduced structural integrity of the body frames at the aft cargo panel attachment points. Failure
of multiple frames could lead to rapid decompression of the airplane.
Fatigue testing of two 757 airframes indicates body frames in the aft cargo compartment may crack at
the side panel to frame attachment.
In one fatigue test airframe, numerous fractured cargo compartment side panel attach fasteners, cracked
side panel attach tabs at right side STA 1380, cracked frames at left side STA 1320, 1400, 1500, 1540,
1560 and right side STA 1540 were found at 34,600 equivalent flight cycles.
In the second fatigue test airframe, several fractured side panel attach fasteners and cracked frames
at right side STA 1580 and 1600 were found at 62,500 equivalent flight cycles. These frame cracks
originated at the side panel to frame attach fastener rivet hole and propagated from fastener hole to
fastener hole through the frame inner chord, web and fail-safe chord.
Cracks have already been reported in fuselage frames in the aft cargo compartment at STA 1340,
1400, 1420, 1500, 1520 and 1580 between S-26 and S-27 on the left and right sides, at the intersection
with the side cargo compartment panel installation. The cracking has been attributed to fatigue at the
associated frame attachment fastener hole, as a result of an unmodified or de-modified interface
between the affected frame and the cargo floor.

These cracks may be associated with airplanes that have had the modification removed. Widespread
Fatigue Damage (WFD) analysis identified the need for the inspections and modifications of frames
from STA 1320 through STA 1620.
The modification as given in the original issue of this service bulletin was not mandated, and has been
removed on two airplanes that were converted, and may have been removed on more. Airplane line
numbers 37 - 51 should have been reworked in production but the rework may not have been
accomplished or may have been de-modified.
The fuselage frames from STA 1320 through STA 1620 in this service bulletin have been determined
to be structure that is susceptible to Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD).
Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) 757 FTD 53-14001 is related to this service bulletin.
Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 757-SRP-53-0488 is related to this service bulletin.
Revision 1 is sent to add a general visual inspection to verify modification status, Low Frequency Eddy
Current (LFEC) inspections, and a mandatory modification that is required to comply with the Widespread
Fatigue Damage (WFD) rule. This is required only in locations with no modification. The release
classification of this service bulletin has been changed to Alert Service Bulletin.
The data given in Notice of Status Change 757-53-0012 NSC1 is included in this revision.
D. Description
Do a general visual inspection to make sure that a modification has been done and remains complete.
If no modification has been done, or is not complete, do a Low Frequency Eddy Current (LFEC)
inspection for any crack and do the modification of the aft cargo compartment side panel to frame
attachments. If any crack is found, contact The Boeing Company for repair instructions and do the
repair. If the modification has been done, and remains complete, no further inspection or modification
is required.
Group 1 airplanes, which have two cargo doors, have the E-6 electrical equipment rack aft of the
number 2 cargo door and do not require inspection or modification of side panel attach tabs at STA
1440 right side. Group 2 airplanes, which have three cargo doors, have the E-6 rack aft of the number
3 cargo door and do not require inspection or modification on the right side, aft of STA 1520.
Group 3 airplanes are similar to Group 1 airplanes, and also require inspection or modification of the
side panel, stanchions, stringer clips, and intercostals from STA 1440 right side, to STA 1500 right
side.
