Commercial Airplanes 707 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: A3515Original Issue: December 19, 2007 Revision 1: October 10, 2014 ATA System: 5510 SUBJECT: STABILIZERS - Horizontal Stabilizer - Rear Spar Upper and Lower Chords - Inspection and Repair

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 Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 707-SRP-55-0033 is related to this service bulletin.

1. ISSUE 1 - Stress Corrosion Cracking in Chords Made from 7079 Aluminum in the Horizontal Stabilizer Rear Spar Boeing has received numerous reports of stress corrosion cracking in the chord segments made from 7079 aluminum in the 707 horizontal stabilizer rear spar This is a material that is known to be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. Early reports led to Boeing Service Bulletins 707-3356 and 707-3381.

Incorporation of the modifications in those service bulletins has helped to slow the development of stress corrosion cracks. Boeing Service Bulletin 707-A3515 continues the inspections of 707-3356 and 707-3381, but at shorter intervals, and in concurrence with the necessary actions that are the subject of Issue 2 below, until the 7079 aluminum chord segments are replaced by ones made from 7075. The actions of this service bulletin addressing Issue 1 are necessary to adequately detect development of stress corrosion cracking in 7079 aluminum chords.

2. ISSUE 2 - Early Fatigue Cracking in the Inboard Segment of the Upper Chord in the Horizontal Stabilizer Rear Spar Boeing has received three reports of fatigue cracking in the upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer rear spar at a location near the side of the body. In all cases the fatigue prevention and fail safety improvement modifications of Boeing Service Bulletin 707-A3313 had been incorporated. The fatigue cracking is considered to be early in the life of the modified structure. The fatigue cracks are generated by frequent use of the airplanes for training flights that include multiple Touch and Goes. This frequent use of the airplane for this type of training has been most prevalent with military operators of commercial model 707 and 720 airplanes. The actions of this service bulletin are necessary to adequately detect early fatigue cracking.

3. CONFIGURATION The ability to move the horizontal stabilizer to a different airplane is of significance to Issue 1 and Issue

2. Parts made from 7079 have been discovered on airplanes not originally delivered with those parts.

Therefore, to adequately address Issue 1, it is necessary to determine the horizontal stabilizer rear spar chord configuration on the airplane. It is also necessary to carefully maintain a record of that configuration until all 7079 horizontal stabilizer rear spar chord segments have been removed from the fleet. Regarding Issue 2, since horizontal stabilizers can be moved to different airplanes, it is necessary to implement the inspections for early fatigue cracking on all effective airplanes at the time stated in the 1.E Compliance section, regardless of the current usage of the airplane.

ACTION (PRR 18101-2RS) Cycle Definition: To adequately account for in-flight training maneuvers, incorporate the cycle counting procedure defined in this service bulletin.

Configuration Check: To Maintain configuration identity, determine the material for each horizontal stabilizer rear spar chord segment addressed by this service bulletin. Maintain the configuration identity indefinitely.

Inspections: Complete the inspections for stress corrosion cracking and fatigue cracking in accordance with the methods and times stated in this service bulletin.

Repair: Contact Boeing for repair instructions or replace the cracked part with a spare part made from 7075 aluminum.

EFFECTIVITY All 707-300, 707-300B, 707-300C and 707-400 Airplanes. See Paragraph 1.A.1 for effectivity.

COMPLIANCE Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directives AD 2012-17-13 and AD 85-12-01 R1 are related to this service bulletin.

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

INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION Boeing warranty remedies are not available for the inspection and/or repair procedures given in this service bulletin.

MANPOWER See Service Bulletin Paragraph 1.G. for manpower information.

MATERIAL INFORMATION Operator Supplied Parts/Materials.
