Commercial Airplanes 757 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 757-53A0107Original Issue: July 20, 2017 ATA System: 5300 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Skin - Inspections of the Fuselage Skin for Scribe Lines

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 This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect for scribe lines or cracks resulting from scribe lines, on the fuselage skin at lap joints, the splice strap at certain butt joints, the skin or doubler at certain approved repair doublers and the skin at decals. There is no inspection program specific for fuselage scribe line detection on 757-300 airplanes at present. Implementing a periodic inspection program will mitigate the safety issue. Failure to detect and completely remove scribe lines may lead to fatigue cracking. If not corrected, scribe lines and subsequent cracks can potentially lead to rapid decompression and the inability of the principal structural element to sustain limit load.

The Boeing Company has received reports on six different cases of scribe line damage on 757-300 airplanes.

The affected airplanes have accumulated between 4,500 and 14,000 flight cycles. The scribe lines were discovered during scheduled maintenance inspections. No cracks have been reported related to scribe lines.

Scribe line damage is not associated with aircraft service life. A scribe line is a narrow, shallow, distinct line of damage (typically up to 0.006 inch deep), usually associated with the removal of a fillet or gap seal (lap joints and butt joints, respectively).

A review of fleet activity yields two separate scenarios that are suspected to have caused scribe lines to the fuselage skin or butt joint splice straps.

The first scenario involves the paint stripping and repainting of airplanes. In the process of stripping and preparing the airplane for paint, tools were used to remove sealant and paint buildup at lap joints, butt joints, and at certain external or internal doublers or door scuff plates. Tools like scrapers (steel, wood, hard plastic etc.), knives, or utility knives can damage the skin, splice straps, or internal doublers. This operation can result in scribe lines at any of these locations. Fatigue cracks can develop at scribe line locations.

Original Issue: July 20, 2017 757-53A0107 5 of 166

The second scenario involves the removal or installation of graphic decals on the fuselage. During the removal and installation of decals across lap joint steps or repairs, investigation into maintenance practices has shown the decals have been cut in place, using some form of knife, to allow the decal to lie flush to the skin at these stepped locations. This operation results in scribe lines at the decal cut location. Based on service reports, sharp tools have also been used for close trimming of the decal's outline. This type of decal trimming has also left scribe lines on the fuselage skin.

The above maintenance operations can each lead to the same type of scribe line damage and subsequent premature fatigue cracks.

1. Initial Inspections:

Do a detailed inspection for any scribe line at skin lap joints, circumferential butt splices, decal locations, and locations with existing external or internal approved repairs.

a. If no scribe line is found, or any scribe line is found less than 0.001 inch deep, no further inspections are required.

b. If any scribe line is found that is within the limits of a typical scribe line and more than or equal to

0.001 inch deep, do a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection for any crack at each scribe line location.
