Commercial Airplanes 767 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 767-53A0263Original Issue: January 12, 2015 ATA System: 5300 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Section 43 - Inspection of Skin and Splice Fittings at Stringer 29, Body Station 786 Ring Chord

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND While replacing a cracked underwing longeron fitting per service bulletin 767-57A0126, a crack indication was found in the STA 786 ring chord at the tension bolt hole common to the wing front spar lower chord and the internal bathtub fittings. There were two similar reports of these findings from two separate operators. The airplanes in these reports had 14,367 and 18,354 flight cycles and had 90,389 and 96,826 flight hours, respectively.

The current Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) inspections are not sufficient to detect any possible fuselage skin crack in the area adjacent to the ring chord at STA 786 before the crack extends to a critical length. The fuselage skin in this area is hidden between the splice fittings on the external side of the fuselage and the bathtub fittings on the internal side. This service bulletin specifies an external ultrasonic inspection of the skin hidden by the upper and lower splice fittings on both sides of the fuselage to detect any fatigue crack in the fuselage skin. It also specifies an external detailed inspection of the splice fittings and the adjacent visible fuselage skin and structure for any crack, corrosion or other damage. If the service bulletin action is not accomplished, then cracks in the fuselage skin in this hidden area could go undetected, potentially leading to a loss of a primary load path between the fuselage and the wing box. The loss of the primary load path could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

To date, there have been no reports of any fuselage skin cracks in the area that is inspected by this service bulletin.
