SSI 53-60-11 [No. 2 Cargo Door Cutout BS 1380 Edge Frame Inner Chord S-23 to Lower Sill (L/N 1-57 &
L/N 58 and on)] listed in 757 MPD Document D622N001-9. This AMOC only applies to the common structural
inspection areas on the Inner Chord. All provisions of AD 2020-01-18 that are not specifically referenced
above remain fully applicable and must be complied with accordingly.
In addition, the Manager of the FAA Los Angeles ACO Branch approves accomplishment of the inspections
and actions defined in this requirements bulletin as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) to the

5.    ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE: 1. This is an Enhanced Required for Compliance document. There will be a separate
Service Bulletin (SB) and a separate Requirements Bulletin (RB). If an RB is mandated
by an Airworthiness Directive (AD), then all applicable requirements specified in the
RB must be done. For the related SB, some locations are marked RC Start and RC
End to identify the requirements that are restated from the RB. For the related SB,
the areas between RC Start and RC End, including sub-steps and any figures
identified between RC Start and RC End, must be done to comply with the AD.
Therefore, an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) is required for any deviations
to steps between RC Start and RC End, including substeps and identified figures.
For the related SB, the steps not between RC Start and RC End may be deviated
from using accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or
inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC; this is provided that the
steps between RC Start and RC End, including sub-steps and identified figures, can
still be done as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition.
Figures not required for compliance are omitted from the RB.
2. This is an Enhanced Required for Compliance document. The Boeing processes
used to create the Service Bulletin (SB) and the Requirements Bulletin (RB) ensure
that the information between "RC Start" and "RC End" in the SB are identical to the
information in the same sections (Compliance, Work Instructions...) of the RB which
the SB refers to as the related document.
3. The compliance times for the actions in WORK INSTRUCTIONS are in Compliance.
4. Boeing Service Letter 757-SL-51-022, Damage Reporting and Repair Plan/Design
Guidelines, is an acceptable procedure to request information from Boeing for
additional structural repair instructions. The Service Letter describes what information
must be provided to Boeing before a structural repair can be provided.
5. Unless shown differently, these dimensions and tolerances are used:
– Linear dimensions are in inches
– Tolerance on linear dimensions, other than rivet and bolt edge margins, is plus
or minus 0.03 inch
– Tolerance on rivet and bolt edge margin is plus or minus 0.05 inch
– Angular tolerance is plus or minus 2 degrees
– Hole dimensions for standard solid rivets and fasteners are in Structural Repair
Manual (SRM) Chapter 51
– Torque Values:
— Values for structural fasteners are given in 757 Structural Repair Manual,
Chapter 51.
— Values for airframe maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of 757
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).
— Values for electrical maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 20 of
Standard Wiring Practices Manual (SWPM).
— Values for engine maintenance tasks are included in Chapter 70 of 757
Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).

— Non-standard torque values for maintenance tasks are included in the
applicable installation step.
6. These work instructions refer to procedures included in other Boeing documents.
When the words "refer to" are used and the operator has an accepted alternative
procedure, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words "in
accordance with" are included in the instruction, the procedure in the Boeing document
must be used.
7. Where the work instructions include installation of a kept part, a new or serviceable
part with the same part number can be installed as an alternative to the kept part.
8. If it is necessary to remove more parts for access, you can remove those parts. If
you can get access without removing identified parts, it is not necessary to remove
all of the identified parts. Jacking and shoring limitations must be observed.
9. Use the approved fastener, process and material substitutions in accordance with
SRM Chapter 51.
10. A General Visual Inspection is defined as: A visual examination of an interior or
exterior area, installation or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity.
This level of inspection is made from within touching distance, unless otherwise
specified. A mirror may be necessary to enhance visual access to all exposed surfaces
in the inspection area. This level of inspection is made under normally available
lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-light and may
require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders or platforms
may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked. Basic cleaning may be
required to ensure appropriate visibility.
11. When more than one OPTION is given for a CONDITION, do only one of the OPTION
numbers. When more than one ACTION is given for a CONDITION or an OPTION,
do all of the ACTION numbers for that CONDITION or OPTION.
12. If the length of any fastener specified in this service bulletin does not meet installation
standards given in SRM Chapter 51, then a fastener of the same specification, or
an approved substitute, with a length which meets the installation standards given
in SRM Chapter 51 may be used. In addition, washers may be installed for fastener
grip length in accordance with SRM Chapter 51. Refer to SOPM 20-50-01 for alternate
full threaded fasteners (screws) needed for installation in this service bulletin.
13. A review of the airplane maintenance records can be used if you can conclusively
determine STA 1380 frame repair installation.

(a)(b)--INNER CHORDInspect1
(a) Do a sub-surface Low Frequency Eddy Current (LFEC) inspection around each fastener or hole for any
crack in the inner chord, through the web in accordance with 757 NDT Manual Part 6, 51-00-23. At the
fastener locations with nutplates, the rivets that attach the nutplate may cause an edge effect signal which
is not a crack indication. AF-4087 is an optional smaller LFEC probe that can be used for fasteners with
a short edge distance to the inner chord.
(b) The angle of the nutplates and the position of the nutplate rivets may differ from what is shown in this
figure.
