Commercial Airplanes 777 Service Bulletin Revision Transmittal SheetNumber: 777-53A0054Original Issue: August 07, 2008 Revision 1: November 04, 2010 ATA System: 5300 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Body Station 132.5 to Body Station 2150 - External Inspection of the Fuselage Skin for External Scribe Lines This revision includes all pages of the service bulletin.

COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION More work is necessary on airplanes which have not been stripped or repainted, but have had decals installed or removed across affected lap joints, large cargo door hinges, or external doublers. If those airplanes had previously been determined to not require inspections in accordance with the original issue of this service bulletin, do the lap joint, large cargo door hinge, and external doubler inspections in accordance with Paragraph 3.B., PART 11 at the applicable time for the affected decal locations.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making FAA NPRM 2009-NM-004-AD is related to this service bulletin.

No airplanes were added to this service bulletin effectivity.

REASON FOR REVISION This revision is sent to include information about scribe lines that may exist in the fuselage skin around external decals that may have been installed or removed. Only the inspection areas described in the original issue of this service bulletin (external doubler locations, Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, and large cargo door hinge locations) require inspections for scribe lines, which may include scribe lines associated with the installation or removal of decals.

References to FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making FAA NPRM 2009-NM-004-AD were added to this service bulletin.

The data given in Information Notice 777-53A0054 IN 01 is included in this revision. IN 01 included clarification of the notes in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance, and corrections for various typographic errors.

Vertical lines are put on the left edge of each page, except in Paragraph 1.A., Effectivity, to show the location of important changes.

Pages with no vertical lines have no important changes.

Commercial Airplanes 777 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 777-53A0054Original Issue: August 07, 2008 Revision 1: November 04, 2010 ATA System: 5300 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Body Station 132.5 to Body Station 2150 - External Inspection of the Fuselage Skin for External Scribe Lines

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND This service bulletin gives instructions for the inspection and repair of scribe lines in the fuselage skin at certain lap joints, butt joints, and external repair doublers, and around the large cargo door hinges. Fatigue cracks can develop in the skin at scribe line locations. Fatigue cracks in the skin that remain undetected could grow large and cause sudden decompression and the inability to sustain limit load.

A scribe line is a narrow, shallow, distinct line of damage (up to 0.006 inch deep), usually associated with the removal of a fillet or gap seal. A more detailed definition of a scribe line is included in Paragraph 3.B., Accomplishment Instructions.

At the time this service bulletin was originally released, only one 777 airplane has been found with scribe damage by one operator. On this airplane, scribe lines were found around the edges of the area where a large decal had been installed. The operator believed that the scribe lines were made when the decal was removed. No cracks were found at the scribe line locations. On other airplane models, scribe lines appear to have been made when sealant was removed as part of preparation of the airplane for repainting, and have in some cases resulted in significant cracking.

Subsequent to the original issue of this service bulletin, it was determined that scribe lines could occur when decals are installed or removed, even on airplanes that had not previously been stripped or repainted.

Accomplishment of the inspections shown in this service bulletin will help make sure that fatigue cracks that can form in the fuselage skin at scribe lines are found and repaired before they can become large and cause sudden loss of cabin pressure.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 777-SRP-53-0243 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION The lap joint and butt joint locations that should be inspected are divided into four zones to address the most critical areas first and to give less critical areas appropriately reduced compliance requirements. In addition to these four zones, detailed inspections are also required at certain external doubler locations and around the large cargo door hinges.

Original Issue: August 07, 2008 777-53A0054Revision 1: November 04, 2010 7 of 91

At the times shown in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance, start to do detailed inspections for scribe lines in the affected areas. If no scribe lines are found in that area, no more inspections are necessary in that affected area. If scribe lines are found, do detailed, eddy current or ultrasonic inspections of the scribes lines for cracks. If cracks are found, repair before further flight. If no cracks are found, repair the scribe lines. As an alternative to scribe line repair, if the scribe lines are no more than 0.006 inch deep restore the finish in the area and do the inspections for cracks again at the times shown in this service bulletin.

EFFECTIVITY 777-200, 777-200LR, 777-300, and 777-300ER Airplanes. Refer to Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes for the list of affected airplanes.

COMPLIANCE Refer to Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
