Commercial Airplanes 777 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: 777-57A0087Original Issue: November 11, 2010 ATA System: 5710 SUBJECT: WINGS - Center Wing - Beams - Spanwise Beam Web Pockets - Inspection

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 Accomplishment of the inspections in this service bulletin will detect cracks in the Wing Center Section (WCS) spanwise beams before the beam can not carry design load. Inability of the wing center section spanwise beam to carry design loads could result in the loss of the wing center section load path. Loss of the wing center section load path could result in the catastrophic loss of the outer wings.

There are three spanwise beams in the WCS. The beams are numbered from 1 to 3 starting from the aft beam.

These beams are used to stabilize the WCS and are considered primary structure. Two operators have reported finding a crack in the WCS spanwise beam on two airplanes. In the first report, a 1.5 inch crack was found on the web pocket of spanwise beam no. 3 at Right Buttock Line (RBL) 85.20. The airplane had approximately 5,600 flight cycles and approximately 34,500 flight hours. In the second report, a crack was found on the web pocket of spanwise beam no. 3 at Right Buttock Line (RBL) 96.00. The airplane had approximately 8,500 flight cycles and approximately 27,200 flight hours. Both were 777-200 airplanes with wet center sections. Other airplane models and airplanes with dry center sections are included due to similar design. Metallurgical testing of one of the cracked webs shows that the cracks were the result of fatigue from reverse bending (diagonal tension buckling). If cracking at multiple locations occurs in multiple spanwise beams, the WCS spanwise beams may not be able to carry design loads. This could result in the loss of the WCS load path. Loss of the WCS load path could result in the catastrophic loss of the outer wings.

Inspection of the WCS spanwise beams web pockets will detect cracks before the WCS spanwise beams can not carry design loads.
