Commercial Airplanes 777 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 777-53A0075Original Issue: January 14, 2015 ATA System: 5380 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Section 48 - Station 2370 Pivot Bulkhead Forward Outer Chord - Inspection and Repair

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 service bulletin is sent to give instructions for inspections of the left and right side forward outer chords of the Body Station (STA) 2370 pivot bulkhead for cracks. Cracks in the STA 2370 pivot bulkhead forward outer chords that are not found and repaired can become large and result in a severed forward outer chord. Since the horizontal stabilizer is attached to the STA 2370 bulkhead at two pivot locations, this damage could result in the loss of horizontal stabilizer control.

One operator reported finding cracks in the outer flanges of the left and right side forward outer chords of the STA 2370 pivot bulkhead on three airplanes. The cracks were fatigue cracks caused by a stress concentration which is generated at the transition radius of the forward outer flange of the chord prior to the chord splice at the upper longeron. Cracks were found on three 777-200 airplanes with 31,384 flight cycles (39,142 flight hours), 31,504 flight cycles (39,797 flight hours) and 32,181 flight cycles (38,758 flight hours).

Accomplishment of the inspections in this service bulletin will help ensure that STA 2370 pivot bulkhead forward outer chord cracks are found and repaired before they can become large and result in damage that could result in the loss of horizontal stabilizer control.

Boeing Service Bulletin (SB) 777-53-0076 gives instructions for a modification that is terminating action to the repeat inspections given in this service bulletin.

Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) 777 FTD 53-13001 is related to this service bulletin.
