SUBJECT: NACELLE/PYLON - Strut Attach Fuse Pins - Upper Link Fuse Pin Inspection/

This Revision includes all pages of the service bulletin.
COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION
No more work is necessary on airplanes inspected as shown in the original issue of this service bulletin.  
However, continued repeat inspections are necessary at an increased frequency.  Additionally, initial 
inspections on JT9D airplanes are required at a reduced threshold.
REASON FOR REVISION
This revision is sent to update the initial and repeat inspection intervals for early detection of cracks in the upper 
link fuse pin.  The Boeing analysis of in-service fractured pins from two operators has found that the previous 
inspection intervals given in the original issue of this service bulletin are not sufficient to find fatigue cracks in 
the fuse pin.  A change to the inspection intervals is necessary to ensure that cracks are detected before the 
failure of the fuse pin.
These sections were changed:
1. Summary Background and Paragraph 1.C., Reason, were changed to add new information on the fatigue 
damage found by two operators.
2. Summary Action, clarified the inspection procedure, and moved the terminating action information to 
Summary Compliance.
3. Summary Illustration, revised the text to match the work instructions.
4. Paragraph 1.D., Description, clarified the inspection procedure, deleted the request for inspection results, 
and moved the terminating action information to Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
5. Paragraph 1.J., References, was updated to show the correct references.
6. Paragraph 2.C., Parts and Materials Supplied by the Operator, item 2, corrected the cotter pin part number.
7. Paragraph 3.A., General Information, added caution information and clarified the inspection definition.

SUBJECT: NACELLE/PYLON - Strut Attach Fuse Pins - Upper Link Fuse Pin Inspection/
Replacement
THIS BULLETIN 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 SERVICE 
BULLETIN TO THE NEW OPERATOR.  IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS SERVICE 
BULLETIN TO THE NEW OWNER.
CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
None.
BACKGROUND
This fuse pin inspection will permit early detection of cracks in  the upper link fuse pin.  Cracks in the fuse pin 
could result in a fractured fuse pin.  A fractured fuse pin can result in reduced structural capability of the nacelle 
strut, and possible separation of the strut and engine from the airplane during flight.
No operators have reported cracks in the upper link fuse pins.  Cracks were found in an upper link fuse pin at 
Boeing during testing of a RB211 Strut.
As part of the service bulletin validation program, this inspection was completed on airplane VB051 by Service 
Bulletin Validation Copy 1 before the initial release of this service bulletin.  The inspection completed on VB051 
by Service Bulletin Validation Copy 1 is equivalent to the initial release of this service bulletin.
After the original issue of this service bulletin, two operators reported cracked upper link fuse pins.  The two 
airplanes had PW4000 engines with 11,573 flight cycles and 14,780 flight cycles.  Boeing analysis found cracks 
in the longitudinal direction of the fuse pins.  The longitudinal cracks were the result of fatigue loads.  No material 
anomalies were found.  Further Boeing analysis has found that the previous inspection intervals given in the 
original issue of this service bulletin are not sufficient to find fatigue cracks in the fuse pin.  As a result, a change 
to the inspection intervals is necessary to ensure that cracks are detected before the failure of the fuse pin.

ACTION
Remove the strut underwing fairings.  Remove the end caps and corrosion preventive compound from the upper 
link fuse pin and clean the inside surface of the upper link fuse pin.  Do a detailed inspection of the inside surface 
of the upper link fuse pin in place, without engine removal and strut removal, for corrosion.  If corrosion is found 
in the base metal of the fuse pin, or if any crack is found, replace the fuse pin with a new fuse pin with the same 
part number.  If no corrosion is found, do a High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection.  If crack is 
detected, remove the upper link fuse pin and do a Magnetic Particle inspection on the inside surface of the upper 
link fuse pin.  If crack is found in the upper link fuse pin, replace the fuse pin with a new fuse pin with the same 
part number.  Apply the corrosion preventive compound on the upper link fuse pin and install the end caps.  
Install the strut underwing fairings.

B. Concurrent Requirements
None.
C. Reason
This fuse pin inspection will permit early detection of cracks in  the upper link fuse pin.  Cracks in the 
fuse pin could result in a fractured fuse pin.  A fractured fuse pin can result in reduced structural 
capability of the nacelle strut, and possible separation of the strut and engine from the airplane during 
flight.
No operators have reported cracks in the upper link fuse pins.  Cracks were found in an upper link 
fuse pin at Boeing during testing of a RB211 Strut.
As part of the service bulletin validation program, this inspection was completed on airplane VB051 
by Service Bulletin Validation Copy 1 before the initial release of this service bulletin.  The inspection 
completed on VB051 by Service Bulletin Validation Copy 1 is equivalent to the initial release of this 
service bulletin.
After the original issue of this service bulletin, two operators reported cracked upper link fuse pins.  
The two airplanes had PW4000 engines with 11,573 flight cycles and 14,780 flight cycles.  Boeing 
analysis found cracks in the longitudinal direction of the fuse pins.  The longitudinal cracks were the 
result of fatigue loads.  No material anomalies were found.  Further Boeing analysis has found that the 
previous inspection intervals given in the original issue of this service bulletin are not sufficient to find 
fatigue cracks in the fuse pin.  As a result, a change to the inspection intervals is necessary to ensure 
that cracks are detected before the failure of the fuse pin.
Revision 1 is sent to update the initial and repeat inspection intervals for early detection of cracks in 
the upper link fuse pin.  The Boeing analysis of in-service fractured pins from two operators has found 
that the previous inspection intervals given in the original issue of this service bulletin are not sufficient 
to find fatigue cracks in the fuse pin.  A change to the inspection intervals is necessary to ensure that 
cracks are detected before the failure of the fuse pin.
These sections were changed in Revision 1:
1. Summary Background and Paragraph 1.C., Reason, were changed to add new information on 
the fatigue damage found by two operators.
2. Summary Action, clarified the inspection procedure, and moved the terminating action 
information to Summary Compliance.
3. Summary Illustration, revised the text to match the work instructions.
4. Paragraph 1.D., Description, clarified the inspection procedure, deleted the request for 
inspection results, and moved the terminating action information to Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
5. Paragraph 1.J., References, was updated to show the correct references.
6. Paragraph 2.C., Parts and Materials Supplied by the Operator, item 2, corrected the cotter pin 
part number.
7. Paragraph 3.A., General Information, added caution information and clarified the inspection 
definition.

8. Paragraph 3.B., Work Instructions, item 4, clarified the inspection procedure.
9. Figure 1, changed the initial and repeat inspection intervals for the upper link fuse pin, and added 
terminating action information. 
10. Figure 2, clarified the cleaning procedure.
D. Description
Remove the strut underwing fairings.  Remove the end caps and corrosion preventive compound from 
the upper link fuse pin and clean the inside surface of the upper link fuse pin.  Do a detailed inspection 
of the inside surface of the upper link fuse pin in place, without engine removal and strut removal, for 
corrosion.  If corrosion is found in the base metal of the fuse pin, or if any crack is found, replace the 
fuse pin with a new fuse pin with the same part number.  If no corrosion is found, do a High Frequency 
Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection.  If crack is detected, remove the upper link fuse pin and do a 
Magnetic Particle inspection on the inside surface of the upper link fuse pin.  If crack is found in the 
upper link fuse pin, replace the fuse pin with a new fuse pin with the same part number.  Apply the 
corrosion preventive compound on the upper link fuse pin and install the end caps.  Install the strut 
underwing fairings.  
The service bulletins listed below have similar access requirements and are provided for your 
information and planning purposes.
Revision 1 - No more work is necessary on airplanes inspected as shown in the original issue of this 
service bulletin.  However, continued repeat inspections are necessary at an increased frequency.  
Additionally, initial inspections on JT9D airplanes are required at a reduced threshold.
E. Compliance
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.
See Figure 1 for compliance recommendations and maintenance alternatives.
Terminating action for this service bulletin is the accomplishment of the modification of the nacelle 
strut and wing structure for Pratt and Whitney, General Electric and Rolls Royce powered airplanes, 
in accordance with Service Bulletin 767-54-0080, Original Issue or Revision 1; or 767-54-0081, 
Original Issue or Revision 1; or 767-54-0082, Original Issue, Revision 1 or Revision 3, as applicable.
