This Revision includes all pages of the service bulletin.
COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION
No more work is necessary on airplanes changed as shown in the initial release of this service bulletin.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making 2005-NM-058-AD is related to this 
service bulletin.
REASON FOR REVISION
This revision is sent to improve the work instructions as a result of access restrictions found during the service 
bulletin validation. Additionally, based on one other operator report revision 1 is sent to provide instructions to 
install the gutter as a one piece assembly. Instructions throughout the service bulletin are changed to provide 
two options to install the gutter as one piece or as two pieces.
As a part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VN097 by Service 
Bulletin 767-51A0027 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. In the validation the gutter was 
installed in two pieces. The change completed on airplane VN097 by Service Bulletin 767-51A0027 is equivalent 
to the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin.
Changes to this service bulletin include:
– References to a FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making are added throughout the service bulletin.
– Material Information - A new 180T3250-9 gutter assembly is added. The 180T3250-4 gutter assembly is 
optional to the 180T3250-9 gutter assembly. The Boeing drawing number and parts modified and 
reidentified are changed. The quantity of optional rivets supplied by the operator is reduced.
– Accomplishment Instructions - An additional access door is added. Maintenance manual references to test 
the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot systems are added. A stabilizer 
tool reference has been removed as it is acceptable to use another lock tool. A maintenance manual 
reference to install the service platform is changed.
– Figure 1 is changed to add a dimension for the gutter assembly cut location.
– Figure 2 is changed to give rework instructions if cracks are found and to add an alternative high frequency 
eddy current inspection for cracks. The two possible side brace fittings installed after the rework are 
identified.
– Figures 3 and 4 are changed to remove the option to install rivets and to change the quantity of hi loks used 
to install the gutter assembly at each hydraulic bracket.
– Figure 6 is added to disconnect and move the hydraulic lines at the hydraulic control brackets.

ATA System: 5141
SUBJECT: STRUCTURES - Airframe Drainage - Horizontal Stabilizer Center Section - Gutter 
Installation
CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
None.
BACKGROUND
This service bulletin gives instructions to install a gutter on the horizontal stabilizer center section. This gutter 
will channel water that enters Section 48 at the side of body seals away from the elevator control system 
components aft of the horizontal stabilizer. This will make it less likely that ice can accumulate on the elevator 
control system components. Ice on the elevator systems can restrict elevator movement which limits the ability 
of the flight crew to make elevator control inputs, resulting in reduced controllability of the airplane.
Boeing has received three reports of stiff or jammed elevator controls. Analysis of all three reports indicated that 
ice had formed on the elevator control components aft of the horizontal stabilizer, which restricted the movement 
of the elevator controls. Water was found to get into Section 48 of the airplane through the fairing panels at the 
side of the body. The ice then formed from water that had accumulated on the horizontal stabilizer center 
section. In one case, the water accumulated due to a leak in the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) inlet duct. In another 
case, the water came from a leak in a galley water drain line.
Airplane line numbers 1 through 110 have side of body seal doors that do not allow water to enter Section 48 
and therefore, are not subject to this service bulletin. After line number 921, a gutter is installed on the horizontal 
stabilizer center section in production.
Accomplishment of the modification shown in this service bulletin will make it less likely that movement of the 
elevator control system will be restricted due to the accumulation of ice on the elevator control system 
components aft of the horizontal stabilizer center section.
As a part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VN097 by Service 
Bulletin 767-51A0027 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. The change completed on 
airplane VN097 by Service Bulletin 767-51A0027 is equivalent to the release of Revision 1 of this service 
bulletin. 
The related 767-400ER Boeing service bulletin is 767-51A0028.
Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-27-0147 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION (PRR B12901-51S)
Get access to the horizontal stabilizer center section through the service doors 312AR and 313AL. Disconnect 
6 hydraulic lines. Rework the horizontal stabilizer side brace fittings to enlarge the drain holes.
Option 1: Install the gutter as two pieces along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer center 
section, on the controls brackets. Seal the gap between the gutter sections. Install two splices to re-join the 
gutter sections using shims between mating surfaces. Apply sealant between the gutter, the rear upper spar 
chord and splices.
Option 2: Install the gutter as one piece along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer center 
section, on the controls brackets. Apply sealant between the gutter and the rear upper spar chord.
Do system tests of the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot systems.

B. Concurrent Requirements
None.
C. Reason
This service bulletin gives instructions to install a gutter on the horizontal stabilizer center section. This 
gutter will channel water that enters Section 48 at the side of body seals away from the elevator control 
system components aft of the horizontal stabilizer. This will make it less likely that ice can accumulate 
on the elevator control system components. Ice on the elevator systems can restrict elevator 
movement which limits the ability of the flight crew to make elevator control inputs, resulting in reduced 
controllability of the airplane.
Boeing has received three reports of stiff or jammed elevator controls. Analysis of all three reports 
indicated that ice had formed on the elevator control components aft of the horizontal stabilizer, which 
restricted the movement of the elevator controls. Water was found to get into Section 48 of the airplane 
through the fairing panels at the side of the body. The ice then formed from water that had 
accumulated on the horizontal stabilizer center section. In one case, the water accumulated due to a 
leak in the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) inlet duct. In another case, the water came from a leak in a 
galley water drain line.
Airplane line numbers 1 through 110 have side of body seal doors that do not allow water to enter 
Section 48 and therefore, are not subject to this service bulletin. After line number 921, a gutter is 
installed on the horizontal stabilizer center section in production.
Accomplishment of the modification shown in this service bulletin will make it less likely that movement 
of the elevator control system will be restricted due to the accumulation of ice on the elevator control 
system components aft of the horizontal stabilizer center section.
The related 767-400ER Boeing service bulletin is 767-51A0028.
Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-27-0147 is related to this service bulletin.
Revision 1 is sent to improve the work instructions as a result of access restrictions found during the 
service bulletin validation. Additionally, based on one other operator report revision 1 is sent to provide 
instructions to install the gutter as a one piece assembly. Instructions throughout the service bulletin 
are changed to provide two options to install the gutter as one piece or as two pieces.
As a part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VN097 by 
Service Bulletin 767-51A0027 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. In the validation 
the gutter was installed in two pieces. The change completed on airplane VN097 by Service Bulletin 
767-51A0027 is equivalent to the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin.
Changes to this service bulletin include:
– References to a FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making are added throughout the service bulletin.
– Material Information - A new 180T3250-9 gutter assembly is added. The 180T3250-4 gutter 
assembly is optional to the 180T3250-9 gutter assembly. The Boeing drawing number and parts 
modified and reidentified are changed. The quantity of optional rivets supplied by the operator is 
reduced.
– Accomplishment Instructions - An additional access door is added. Maintenance manual 
references to test the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot 
systems are added. A stabilizer tool reference has been removed as it is acceptable to use 
another lock tool. A maintenance manual reference to install the service platform is changed.

– Figure 1 is changed to add a dimension for the gutter assembly cut location.
– Figure 2 is changed to give rework instructions if cracks are found and to add an alternative high 
frequency eddy current inspection for cracks. The two possible side brace fittings installed after 
the rework are identified.
– Figures 3 and 4 are changed to remove the option to install rivets and to change the quantity of 
hi loks used to install the gutter assembly at each hydraulic bracket.
– Figure 6 is added to disconnect and move the hydraulic lines at the hydraulic control brackets.
– Figure 7 is added to identify a locator mark on the gutter when installing the gutter as one piece.
– Figure 8 is added to install the gutter as one piece.
– Figure 9 is added to apply sealant between the upper spar chord and gutter when installing the 
gutter as one piece.
– Figure 10 is added to connect the hydraulic lines at the hydraulic control brackets.
D. Description
Get access to the horizontal stabilizer center section through the service doors 312AR and 313AL. 
Disconnect 6 hydraulic lines. Rework the horizontal stabilizer side brace fittings to enlarge the drain 
holes.
Option 1: Install the gutter as two pieces along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer 
center section, on the controls brackets. Seal the gap between the gutter sections. Install two splices 
to re-join the gutter sections using shims between mating surfaces. Apply sealant between the gutter, 
the rear upper spar chord and splices.
Option 2: Install the gutter as one piece along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer 
center section, on the controls brackets. Apply sealant between the gutter and the rear upper spar 
chord.
Do system tests of the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot systems.
NOTE: Boeing Service Bulletins 767-25A0322, 767-27A0192 and 767-49A0035 are also related to
767-SRP-27-0147. Boeing recommends that operators accomplish these service bulletins,
and this service bulletin, to make it less likely that movement of the elevator control system
will be restricted due to the accumulation of ice on the elevator control system components
aft of the horizontal stabilizer center section.
Revision 1 - No more work is necessary on airplanes changed as shown in the initial release of this 
service bulletin.
E. Compliance
Boeing recommends that operators accomplish the modifications shown in this bulletin within five 
years after the issue date of initial release of this service bulletin.
FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making 2005-NM-058-AD is related to this service bulletin.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an Airworthiness Directive related to 
this service bulletin. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in 
this service bulletin mandatory.
