COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION No more work is necessary on airplanes changed in accordance with the original issue of this service bulletin.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making NPRM 2009-NM-100-AD, is related to this service bulletin.

REASON FOR REVISION

1. This revision is sent to:

a. Clarify that the rework limits for weld beads are measured from the slat can surface and do not include the weld bead height. The weld bead can be blended flush with the can surface before rework limits apply.

b. Delete the requirement in Part 7 - Outboard Slat Numbers 3 and 12 Outboard Main Track Slat Can Inspection and Outboard and Inboard Main Track Stop Hardware Replacement that required accomplishment of Part 2 - Slat Main Track Stop Hardware Torque Check. Checking the torque of the fasteners prior to replacement is not necessary. Failure of Part 2 - Slat Main Track Stop Hardware Torque Check requires the hardware to be replaced which is already being accomplished.

c. Add note in the General Information section that allows the installation of a fastener with a different grip length if required to meet SRM requirements. Subsequent to the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, an operator reported that a different grip length bolt was required to meet SRM requirements.

In addition, operators have reported difficulty in obtaining BACB30LR4-35 bolts. Boeing has reviewed and determined that a BACB30LR4-36 bolt with a BACW10BP4APU washer is an acceptable option.

d. Revise incorrect chamfer callout in Appendix A. See Information Notice (IN) IN-01.

e. Verify that a post machining stress relief bake is not required in Appendix A. See Information Notice (IN) IN-02.

f. Correct the Standard Overhaul Practices Manual (SOPM) in Appendix A for the optional part marking.

See Information Notice (IN) IN-02.

Original Issue: March 26, 2009 777-57A0064Revision 1: May 06, 2010 5 of 104

g. Add scrubbing part with a scotchbrite pad (or equivalent) as an option to solvent cleaning in Appendix A. See Information Notice (IN) IN-02.

h. Clarify the Part 1 - Slat Track Stop Hardware Installation Inspection action that requires Part 3 - Slat Can Inspection be accomplished does not apply to the outboard main track locations of slats no. 3 and 12 on Group 1 Airplanes. Subsequent to the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, an operator requested this clarification be added.

i. Clarify the areas where the slat can repair is applicable by adding commas inadvertantly missing in the original issue.

j. Clarify in figures 13 through 16 that the downstops can be kept and reinstalled.

k. Clarify the locator in Figure 5 to show the correct locations affected.

l. Add reference to FAA NPRM 2009-NM-100-AD.

m. Updated service bulletin to current requirements.

2. The following sections were changed in this revision:

a. Summary:

(1) Compliance - Add reference to FAA NPRM 2009-NM-100-AD.

Commercial Airplanes 777 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 777-57A0064Original Issue: March 26, 2009 Revision 1: May 06, 2010 ATA System: 5741 2781 SUBJECT: WINGS - Leading Edge and Leading Edge Devices - Leading Edge - Outboard Slat Main Track Downstop Assembly and Slat Can - Inspection, Repair And Change

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Paragraph 1.E., Compliance Accomplishment of the inspections and changes in this service bulletin will help detect and prevent damage to the outboard slat main track slat cans. Damage to the outboard slat main track slat cans can allow fuel leakage into the fixed wing leading edge in excess of the capacity of the drainage system. The fuel leakage from the excess fuel could result in an uncontained fire.

Each outboard slat main track has a downstop attached to the aft end of the slat track assembly. The downstop consists of two fittings that are secured to the track with a bolt and nut. The main tracks travel through holes in the front spar web when the slat is retracted. In areas of the wing where fuel is stored, a slat can is installed on the wet side of the spar to surround the main track and contain the fuel. One operator reported finding a hole in the inboard main track slat can for outboard slat number 12. The hole was caused when the bolt securing the downstop migrated out of the fitting and contacted the slat can. It is believed the locking element of the nut was not fully engaged and the nut securing the bolt backed off and allowed the bolt to migrate. In addition, in production it was discovered that a downstop was contacting the weld on a slat can at the outboard main track location on slat numbers 3 and 12. This contact could cause wear damage and eventually a hole in the slat can. Holes in the slat can can allow fuel leakage into the wing fixed leading edge. It is possible that the hole could be large enough to alow fuel leakage in excess of the capacity of the drainage provisions in the fixed leading edge. The excess fuel leakage could result in an uncontained fire.

Inspections of the bolt, nut, and downstop will ensure that parts are correctly installed and prevent the bolt from migrating out and puncturing the slat can. Replacement of the hardware will ensure that parts are correctly installed. Inspection of the slat can will ensure that there are no holes or wear damage that could result in a hole in the slat can.
