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, three more operators have reported cracks on the left 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 and three
operators noted the front lower wing spar chord had cracked. 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, three more operators have reported cracks on the left 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 and three operators noted the lower front spar chord had cracked. The table below gives
the flight cycles and flight hours at which operators reported finding airplanes with a crack.

12. Where the work instructions include installation of a kept part, a new or serviceable
part with the same part number can be installed as an alternative to the kept part.
13. Some Boeing parts are supplied in a temporary configuration. Those parts are
identified with a 'U', 'W', or 'Y' in place of the '-' (dash) in the part number. It is
permitted to install parts identified with a 'U', 'W', or 'Y' as an alternative to the '-'
