Commercial Airplanes 767 Service Bulletin ALERT Revision Transmittal SheetNumber: 767-57A0079Original Issue: June 20, 2002 Revision 1: May 06, 2010 ATA System: 5750 SUBJECT: WINGS - Trailing Edge and Trailing Edge Devices - Inboard Main Flap - Hinge Fitting Lug Inspection and Replacement This Revision includes all pages of the service bulletin.

COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2003-13-01, is related to this service bulletin.

No more work is necessary on airplanes changed in accordance with the original issue of this service bulletin.

REASON FOR REVISION This revision is sent to:

1. To reduce the initial compliance time and repeat interval based on service reports. Subsequent to the original issue of this service bulletin, operators have reported finding 3 fractured hinge fitting assemblies. The fractured hinge fitting assemblies had accumulated less flight-cycles than the initial compliance threshold and in 1 case, the hinge fitting assembly fractured after the original inspection and prior to the next repeat inspection. Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-57-0233 was issued to address this issue.

2. Add instructions to transfer the stainless steel filler and the shims for the mid fairing roller from the old hinge fitting assembly to the new hinge fitting assembly.

3. Revise inspection area to show inspection from the center of the lug forward, not the end of the lug forward.

This moves the inspection forward to inspect additional area where cracking has been found, not the lug bore where cracking has not been found.

4. Add reference to the existing AD, add an AMOC to the existing AD, and reference the possible new AD which would make the compliance tasks and times in Revision 1 of this service bulletin mandatory.

5. Update the format of the service bulletin to meet current service bulletin standards.

Commercial Airplanes 767 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 767-57A0079Original Issue: June 20, 2002 Revision 1: May 06, 2010 ATA System: 5750 SUBJECT: WINGS - Trailing Edge and Trailing Edge Devices - Inboard Main Flap - Hinge Fitting Lug Inspection and 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 Accomplishment of this service bulletin will detect cracks, prevent fractures and ensure the structural integrity of the inboard trailing edge main flap outboard hinge fittings. Fracture of the hinge fittings could result in the inboard aft flap becoming unrestrained potentially striking the aircraft upon departure, resulting in significant damage to the surrounding structure and cause potential personal injury.

One operator of a 767-300 reported lug fractures on both the inboard and outboard hinge fittings of the outboard hinge assembly mounted to the main flap. The hinge assembly provides one of two primary attachment points of the inboard trailing edge aft flap assembly. The inboard fitting was fractured through the lug hole. The outboard fitting was fractured just above the lug hole. The fractured fittings were found during a routine maintenance inspection. The airplane had accumulated 9,598 flight-hours and 5,393 flight cycles.

During root cause analysis of the fractured hinge fitting it was discovered that an optional tool runout was not present on the damaged fitting assemblies. The tool runout option allows the part to be machined thicker within the area reported to be fractured. Boeing has received no reports of cracks or fractures on fitting that have the additional material area of the optional tool runout. Service bulletin 767-57A0076 was released to inspect and replace the suspect hinge fittings if and as required on all 767-200, 767-300 and 767-300F airplanes line numbers 1 through 825. The inboard trailing edge main flap outboard hinge fittings on the 767-400 are similar in design to the 767-200, 767-300 and 767-300F fittings. The 767-400 fittings are wider and thicker however higher fatigue loads are associated with the 767-400 in this area. Analysis indicates the 767-400 fittings could be susceptible to early fatigue cracking and or fractures as a result of these higher loads.

Subsequent to the original issue of this service bulletin, 3 reports of hinge assembly fracture have been received.

The fractures all occurred at approximately 9,100 flight-cycles and in 1 case fracture at approximately 1,400 flight-cycles after the last detailed - eddy current inspection. Based on the reports of the fractured hinge fitting assemblies prior to the initial threshold and the repeat interval, the initial threshold and repeat interval have been reduced.

Original Issue: June 20, 2002 767-57A0079Revision 1: May 06, 2010 9 of 39

Replacement of the outboard hinge fitting with a more robust designed fitting will ensure the structural integrity of the aft flap, prevent damage to the surrounding structure and the potential for personal injury.
