Commercial Airplanes 767 Service Bulletin

SPECIAL ATTENTION SummaryNumber: 767-53-0207Original Issue: December 17, 2009 ATA System: 5365 2312 SUBJECT: FUSELAGE - Section 46 Skin - Fuselage Skin and Backup Structure Inspection and Repair at the Lower VHF Antenna Cutout at Station 1197 + 99, Between Stringers 39L and 39R BOEING RECOMMENDS THAT EACH OPERATOR EXAMINE THIS SERVICE BULLETIN IMMEDIATELY.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Accomplishment of the inspections in this service bulletin will make sure that cracks in fuselage skin around the VHF antenna and internal backup structure at station 1197+ 99 are found and repaired. If not repaired, cracks in the fuselage skin and/or internal backup structure could result in unscheduled repairs.

Two operators have reported cracks in the section 46 fuselage lower skin around the periphery of the VHF antenna baseplate at station 1197+99. One operator reported 5 cracks with a maximum length of 11 inches, found on an airplane with 38,804 total flight-hours/34,929 total flight-cycles. Another operator reported a maximum crack length of 9.5 inches, found on an airplane with 60,467 total flight-hours/29,185 total fight-cycles. Boeing investigation has revealed that the fuselage skin and/or internal backup structure cracks are attributed to fatigue.

This fatigue is the result of bending loads in the skin, which are caused by vibration of the antenna in flight. No operator reported crack findings for the backup structure.

This service bulletin gives instructions to do detail inspections for cracks, and repair if necessary, of the fuselage skin and internal backup structure at the VHF antenna at station 1197+ 99.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-53-0323 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION Part 1 - Fuselage Skin and Backup Structure Inspection ( Initial Inspection ) Do an external Detail Inspection ( DI ) of the fuselage skin at the lower aft VHF antenna cutout and internal DI of the backup structure for crack at station 1197+99 and do as follows:

Condition 1 ( No fuselage skin and backup structure crack found ) Do an external DI of the fuselage skin in accordance with Part 2 at the times given in Paragraph 1.E.Table 2 Compliance.

BOEING PROPRIETARY - Copyright © Unpublished Work - See page 1 for details.
