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 During the inspections called for in Service Bulletin MD80-55A065, two operators reported finding cracks emanating from the left and right upper rear spar cap aft-most barrel nut holes of the horizontal stabilizer. One airplane had accumulated 40,144 flight hours and 32,253 landing cycles, while the other airplane had accumulated 58,296 flight hours and 43,512 landing cycles. In both cases, the affected part was removed from the airplane and submitted to Boeing for evaluation. Investigation by Boeing has determined that the cracks are caused by fatigue. In both cases, the cracks originated inside the barrel nut holes, and radiated vertically and in the aft direction from the barrel nut holes. If not corrected, these cracks may propagate until it severs the upper rear spar cap which may result in the failure of the horizontal stabilizer upper center or aft skin panel, adversely affecting the structural integrity of the airplane.

Boeing Fleet Team Digest (FTD) MD-80 FTD 55-12002 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION This service bulletin provides instructions to perform a High Frequency Eddy Current (ETHF) inspection on the left and right upper rear spar cap aft-most barrel nut holes for crack(s), and does as follows:

Group 1, Configuration 1, 3:

Condition 1 - No Crack Found Repeats ETHF inspection at defined intervals.

Condition 2 - Any Crack Found Export Controlled ECCN: 9E991 - BOEING PROPRIETARY - Copyright © Unpublished Work - See page 1 for details.
