Commercial Airplanes MD11 Service Bulletin

SPECIAL ATTENTION SummaryNumber: MD11-55-027Original Issue: March 17, 2011 ATA System: 5510 SUBJECT: STABILIZERS - Horizontal Stabilizer - Change Rub Strips of Tail Fuel Tank Center Box Front Spar Access Doors BOEING RECOMMENDS THAT EACH OPERATOR EXAMINE THIS SERVICE BULLETIN IMMEDIATELY.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND An investigation by Boeing revealed that the rub strips of tail fuel tank center box front spar access doors were manufactured improperly. Tail center box fuel tank front spar access door rub strips were inadvertently anodized (electrically non-conductive) instead of alodined (electrically conductive) as prescribed in design drawings.

Anodization of the rub strips may prevent adequate electrical bonding between the rub strips and the doors.

Replacing anodized rub strips with alodined rub strips will provide adequate electrical bonding between the rub strips and the fuel access doors. If not corrected, inadequate electrical bonding can contribute to possible ignition of flammable fuel vapor in the tail fuel tank as a result of a lightning strike.

ACTION This service bulletin provides instructions to change the rub strips of the tail fuel tank center box front spar access doors.

EFFECTIVITY MD-11 and MD-11F Airplanes. Refer to Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes, for the list of affected airplanes.

COMPLIANCE The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an Airworthiness Directive related to this service bulletin. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in this service bulletin mandatory.

Boeing recommends that the rub strips of the tail fuel tank center box front spar access doors be changed within 60 months after the original issue date on this service bulletin.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION Boeing warranty remedies are available for airplanes in warranty as of July 21, 2010. Please refer to Paragraph

2.B., Industry Support Information.
