Commercial Airplanes 727 Service Bulletin

SPECIAL ATTENTION SummaryNumber: 727-53-0232Original Issue: September 23, 2009 ATA System: 5311 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Frames and Bulkheads - Body Station (STA) 1183 - Aft Pressure Bulkhead Web Inspection, Repair and Preventive Modification.

BOEING RECOMMENDS THAT EACH OPERATOR EXAMINE THIS SERVICE BULLETIN IMMEDIATELY.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Accomplishment of this service bulletin will detect cracks if present in the aft pressure bulkhead web. A cracked aft pressure bulkhead web may result in difficulty in achieving or maintaining cabin pressurization, or result in rapid decompression.

Boeing received 13 reports of cracks in the aft pressure bulkhead web ranging from 0.75 inches to 11.8 inches in length at Left Buttock Line (LBL) 61, between Water Line (WL) 220 and WL 228. The cracks originated at the hydraulic line support brackets which were installed in production after airplane Line Number 1336, or in accordance with Service Bulletin 727-29-0057. The cracks were found on airplanes which had accumulated flight hours ranging from 14,939 to 39,369 and flight cycles ranging from 10,685 to 29,357. The cracks are attributed to fatigue of the aft pressure bulkhead web due to vibrations from the number 1 engine hydraulic pump line in addition to normal pressurization cycles. Material analysis revealed multiple crack initiation sites and no evidence of corrosion.

This service bulletin gives instructions for initial and repeat inspections of the aft pressure bulkhead web for any crack and to install a preventive modification if no crack is found or to install a repair if any crack is found.

Accomplishment of this service bulletin will make sure that cracks in the aft pressure bulkhead web are prevented or detected and repaired before the structural integrity of the aft pressure bulkhead is degraded.

Boeing Service Related Problem 727-SRP-53-0314 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION Group 1, Configuration 1; Group 2:

Get access to the aft pressure bulkhead web. Do a detailed inspection for any crack in the aft pressure bulkhead web around the hydraulic line support bracket area. If no crack is found, either repeat the inspection in accordance with Paragraph 1.E., Compliance or accomplish the preventive modification in accordance with this service bulletin. If any crack is found, accomplish the repair in accordance with this service bulletin. If any crack is found to exceed the trim out limits given in this service bulletin contact Boeing for repair instructions and do the repair.
