Commercial Airplanes MD90 Service Bulletin ALERT SummaryNumber: MD90-57A031Original Issue: March 19, 2019 ATA System: 5730 SUBJECT: WINGS - Lower Wing Skin - Inspection of Left and Right Center Wing Lower Skins and Stringers

THIS DOCUMENT 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 DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS DOCUMENT TO THE NEW OWNER.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Accomplishment of this service bulletin will make sure any crack on the left and right center wing lower skins and stringers at the fastener holes common to Stringers 11 through 22 and around the external bracket angle at Stringers 18 and 19 is found. If this service bulletin is not done, undetected fatigue cracks may result in the inability of the structure to sustain limit loads, which could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

The MD-90 center wing stringers and skins have been identified to potentially be susceptible to cracking, based on MD-80 service experience. MD-80 and MD-90 wings share the same basic design and have similar stresses.

MD-80 operators have reported finding cracks in the center wing lower stringers, lower stringer end fittings, and lower forward and aft skins. The cracks in stringers occur at the inboard end where they are joined to the aircraft centerline by end fittings. Cracks in the end fittings occur at the outboard end where they attach to stringers.

The wing skin cracks occur underneath a cracked stringer. The cause of the cracks has been determined to be from fatigue. The Boeing Company has not received any reports of cracks on MD90 airplanes.
