CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
None.
BACKGROUND
Two MD-80 operators, while doing an investigation for fuel leaks, reported five instances of cracking of the wing
rear spar lower cap at the outboard flap, inboard drive hinge at station Xrs=164.000. Boeing has determined
that cracks are the result of material fatigue from normal flap operating loads. No MD-90 failures have yet been
reported but this is a fatigue issue and it was determined that MD-90s are also susceptible to cracking. Inspecting
this area for cracks will stop any crack migration and ensure repairs are done before additional damage occurs.
Installation of doublers or doing the spar cap splice will provide a permanent repair. If not corrected, fuel leaks
and damage to the wing skin or other structure may occur, resulting in flight disruptions and possible loss of the
structural integrity of the wing.
