Commercial Airplanes 707 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: A3537Original Issue: January 30, 2012 ATA System: 5410 SUBJECT: NACELLE - Inboard and Outboard Nacelle Strut Midspar Fitting - 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 make sure that an engine number 1, 2, 3, or 4 nacelle strut has not drooped from its normal position and that the correct inboard and outboard midspar fittings are installed on the engine number 2 and 3 nacelle struts. A drooped nacelle strut indicates that a midspar fitting may have fractured. If an incorrect midspar fitting is installed, a fatigue crack can occur which can cause a fracture of a midspar fitting. A fractured midspar fitting can result in a separation of the nacelle strut and engine from the airplane in flight which could preclude safe flight.

Operators have reported more than 45 of the midspar fittings with the 0.38 inch tang transition, cracked on more than 40 airplanes with approximately 9,900 to 63,000 flight hours. There have been several events where the engine and nacelle strut has separated from the airplane. In one instance, the engine number 3 nacelle strut separated from the airplane and contacted the engine number 4 nacelle strut, which also separated from the airplane.

This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect for the correct engine number 2 and 3 nacelle strut midspar fittings, apply a droop stripe and inspect the engine number 1, 2, 3, and 4 nacelle strut for droop.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 707-SRP-54-0105 is related to this service bulletin.

Make sure each nacelle strut has not drooped from its normal position. Apply a stripe to the inboard and outboard side of the engine number 1, 2, 3, and 4 nacelle strut if it has not been previously accomplished.

If a nacelle strut is drooped below its normal position contact Boeing for further instructions and do the work as instructed by Boeing.

Do a detailed inspection of the engine number 2 and engine number 3 nacelle strut inboard and outboard midspar fittings to confirm the correct part is installed. If an incorrect part is found replace the part in accordance with Boeing service bulletin 707-3183.

Do a HFEC inspection of the engine number 2 and engine number 3 nacelle strut inboard and outboard midspar fittings, to look for cracks. If a crack indication is found contact Boeing for further instructions and do the work as instructed by Boeing.

NOTE: You do not need to change the existing droop stripe, if the droop stripe was applied in accordance with Boeing service bulletin 707-3377 requirements.
