Commercial Airplanes 737 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 737-27-1300Original Issue: April 16, 2012 ATA System: 2731 SUBJECT: FLIGHT CONTROLS - Elevator and Tab - Elevator Tab Control Mechanism - Aft Attach Lug Modification

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Boeing has received 2 reports from operators where the failure of the aft attach lugs on the left elevator tab control mechanism resulted in unwanted elevator freeplay vibration during flight. Investigation revealed that the bearings installed in the elevator tab control mechanism aft attach lugs were likely installed such that they may become loose and migrate. This service bulletin installs a new or modified elevator tab control mechanism with a new improved machined lug with a new bearing that has an improved retention swage. A secondary retention feature was also added to the lug assemblies to ensure the bearings remain in the load path in the event of a swage failure. This new improved machined lug is more robust than the original and will increase the service life of the lugs and bearings of the elevator tab control mechanism. A loose bearing in the aft attach lug of the elevator tab control mechanism that is allowed to migrate out of the load path could lead to unwanted elevator freeplay and then tab vibration which could lead to structural failure of the elevator or the horizontal stabilizer, which can result in unsafe flight conditions.

The related Elevator Tab service bulletins are 737-27A1299 and 737-27A1297.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 737NG-SRP-27-0211 is related to this service bulletin.

1. Gain access to the elevator tab control mechanism. Remove and replace with a new or previously modified elevator tab control mechanism or remove and modify the elevator tab control mechanism by installing the new machined lug assemblies to the existing frames and applying the part mark, as indicated under Component Work. Perform functional tests, a power-off (manual reversion) flight test and return the airplane to a serviceable condition.

Component Work

1. Disassemble the elevator tab control mechanism and remove the lugs (bracket) from the frame.

2. Replace the sheet metal lug assemblies with the new machined lug assemblies.

3. Reassemble the elevator tab control mechanism and part mark with the new dash number.
