CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
None.
BACKGROUND
This service bulletin is sent to provide instructions for inspection and replacement of the underwing longeron at
Station (STA) 1035. Cracks have been found which led to the underwing longeron becoming severed. The
growth of cracks could lead to a crack in the wing lower spar chord. If left uncorrected, cracks could result in
fuel leakage into the forward cargo area and consequent increased risk of a fire, or, in a more severe case,
could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
The first underwing longeron crack was discovered in service. An operator had reports of fuel smell in the forward
cargo area. The subsequent investigation found a crack in the center wing tank that was attributed to the longeron
crack found. All models except some 777-200 models without a center wing tank, are affected by the potential
for a fuel leak into the forward cargo area.
Subsequently, four more operators have reported cracks on the underwing longeron. The cracks have been
reported in 777-300ER and 777-200 airplanes. The cracks have been reported as early as 3,784 Flight Cycles
and 31,240 Flight Hours. As the cracks grow in the longeron further cracking has been reported in the front spar
lower chord, front spar web, and front spar ring chord. The table below gives the flight cycles and flight hours
at which operators reported finding airplanes with a crack.

2. Spares Affected
None.
B. Concurrent Requirements
None.
C. Reason
This service bulletin is sent to provide instructions for inspection and replacement of the underwing
longeron at Station (STA) 1035. Cracks have been found which led to the underwing longeron becoming
severed. The growth of cracks could lead to a crack in the wing lower spar chord. If left uncorrected,
cracks could result in fuel leakage into the forward cargo area and consequent increased risk of a fire,
or, in a more severe case, could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
The first underwing longeron crack was discovered in service. An operator had reports of fuel smell in
the forward cargo area. The subsequent investigation found a crack in the center wing tank that was
attributed to the longeron crack found. All models except some 777-200 models without a center wing
tank, are affected by the potential for a fuel leak into the forward cargo area.

Subsequently, four more operators have reported cracks on the underwing longeron. The cracks have
been reported in 777-300ER and 777-200 airplanes. The cracks have been reported as early as 3,784
Flight Cycles and 31,240 Flight Hours. As the cracks grow in the longeron further cracking has been
reported in the front spar lower chord, front spar web, and front spar ring chord. The table below gives
the flight cycles and flight hours at which operators reported finding airplanes with a crack.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 777-SRP-53-0485 is related to this service bulletin.
Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) 777 FTD 53-15002 is related to this service bulletin.
Revision 1 was sent to correct typographical errors, provide additional access and inspection
requirements, and to add special tooling for cold working. This revision adds reference to FAA Notice
of Proposed Rule Making NPRM 2016-NM-163-AD.
The data given in Information Notice 777-53A0081 IN 01 was added in Revision 1.
Revision 2 includes data given in Information Notice 777-53A0081 IN 02.
This revision is sent to limit the service bulletin effectivity. Installation of an improved longeron has
been incorporated on 777F line numbers 1526 and on, and 777-300ER line numbers 1522 and on.
This revision also revises the compliance time for all 777-300 airplanes with machined underwing
longerons and certain 777-300ER Airplanes.
D. Description
Do a detailed inspection of the underwing longeron. If any crack is found in the underwing longeron,
remove and replace the underwing longeron and inspect the front lower wing spar chord and body ring
chord. If no crack is found, repeat the detailed inspection.
Effects of this Revision on airplanes on which Original Issue and Revision 1 was previously done:
