Commercial Airplanes 777 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 777-55A0015Original Issue: April 19, 2007 Revision 3: November 24, 2009 ATA System: 5527 SUBJECT: STABILIZERS - Elevator Attach Fittings - Elevator Actuator Fitting Assembly Inspection

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND This service bulletin gives instructions to do surface High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) or dye penetrant inspections of the elevator actuator fittings at left and right Elevator Stations 169.79 and 194.79 for cracks.

Cracked actuator fittings may lack adequate residual strength to react flight loads. Cracked actuator fittings can become detached from the elevator, resulting in an unrestrained elevator. An unrestrained elevator is an unacceptable flutter condition which can result in a loss of airplane control.

One operator has told Boeing that a cracked left outboard actuator fitting was found on a 777 airplane with 17,346 flight-hours and 14,043 flight-cycles. The crack extended through the lower inboard flange of the fitting and into the vertical flange. Analysis by Boeing indicates that this crack resulted from fatigue due to higher than anticipated stress levels in the fitting flanges.

Accomplishment of the inspections shown in this service bulletin will make sure that fatigue cracks in the elevator actuator support fittings are found and cracked fittings replaced before the actuator fittings can become detached from the elevator.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 777-SRP-55-0040 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION Get access to the elevator actuator fittings at left and right Elevator Stations 169.79 and 194.79. Do surface High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) or dye penetrant inspections of the actuator fittings for cracks. If cracks are found, replace the cracked fittings with new fittings of the same part number or an approved optional part number. Do the inspections again at the times given in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.

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

COMPLIANCE See Service Bulletin Paragraph 1.E. for compliance information.
