Commercial Airplanes MD90 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: MD90-55A015Original Issue: July 16, 2010 ATA System: 5510 SUBJECT: STABILIZERS - Horizontal Stabilizer - Inspect/Replace Upper Center Skin Panels

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 inspection of the horizontal stabilizer upper aft skin panel of an MD-80 airplane in accordance with Service Bulletin MD80-55A065, one operator reported finding a crack in the right horizontal stabilizer upper center skin panel at the aft inboard corner. The MD-80 airplane had accumulated 47,146 flight-hours and 26,490 flight cycles when the crack was found. The cause of the horizontal stabilizer upper center skin panel cracking on the MD-80 airplane is suspected to be fatigue. The MD-90 horizontal stabilizer is similar in design and loading as that of the MD-80 horizontal stabilizer. Boeing issued Service Bulletin MD90-55A012 which provides instructions to do inspection of the horizontal stabilizer upper aft skin panel. If undetected, a crack in the upper center skin panel may transfer load to the upper aft skin panel. This may result in the upper aft skin panel cracking faster than the existing inspection intervals, defined in Service Bulletin MD90-55A012, will detect. Inspection of the affected areas will determine the condition of the horizontal stabilizer upper center skin panels. If not corrected, undetected cracks may ultimately lead to the loss of overall structural integrity of the horizontal stabilizer.

ACTION Refer to Paragraph 1.D., Description.

EFFECTIVITY MD-90-30 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.

Refer to Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
