WING - INSPECTION OF CENTER WING LOWER AND UPPER RAINBOW FITTINGS 
 
1. PLANNING INFORMATION 
A. EFFECTIVITY 
(1) This Service Bulletin is applicable to all model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, and 382G FAA Certified 
Hercules aircraft including any 282, 382, 382C, and 382T aircraft operating in any category 
(excluding 382U, 382V, and C-130J aircraft). 
(2) Spares - This Service Bulletin is not applicable to spares. 
B. REASON 
(1) The purpose of this Alert Service Bulletin is to inspect the left and right 398827 C enter Wing 
Lower and 398335 Center Wing Upper Wing Joint (Rainbow) Fittings. A crack was found on the 
inner tang of the center wing lower rainbow fitting of a 382C (C-130H) aircraft spanning three 
wing joint nodes (each node contains a single attachment bolt to the outer wing). A single cracked 
inner tang across one node has also been found on a C-130J aircraft. 
NOTE: The inspection threshold provided in this Alert Service Bulletin is based on Commercial 
Baseline usage and is given in Equivalent Flight Hours (EFH). Operators who have 
completed a Lockheed Martin Operational Usage Evaluation (OUE) can use the results of 
the OUE to determine center wing lower surface EFH.  For any operator conducting Air 
Tanker (Firefight) operations, Service Bulletin 382-57-97 is to be used to determine center 
wing lower surface EFH of these operations.  If EFH on the lower rainbow fitting cannot be 
determined, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company recommends the inspections contained 
in this Alert Service Bulletin be completed.  
(2) Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company recommends that the inspection specified herein be 
accomplished on all center wing rainbow fittings that have accumulated more than 15,000 Flight 
Hours on the lower wing joint fitting.  For operators who have had a Lockheed Martin Aeronautics 
OUE completed or have performed Firefight operations should inspect rainbow fittings that have 
accumulated more than 15,000 EFH on the lower wing joint fitting.  The inspection should be 
performed within 30 days after receipt of this Alert Service Bulletin. 
C. DESCRIPTION  
(1) Inspect the left and right 398827 Center Wing Lower and 398335 Center Wing Upper Rainbow 
Fittings. A visual inspection will be accomplished on center wing lower and upper rainbow fittings. 
An eddy current surface scan inspection will be performed on the center wing lower rainbow 
fitting. Report any suspect cracks or damage to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company . 
D. APPROVAL  
(1) The aircraft owner/operator will make an appropriate entry in the aircraft log records upon  
compliance with this Alert Service Bulletin.

AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS DEPRESSURIZED BEFORE STARTING THE WORK.  
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. 
NOTE: Some steps in the accomplishment instructions are identified as Required for Compliance 
(RC). If this Service Bulletin is mandated by an Airworthiness Directive (AD), the steps 
identified as RC must be done to comply with the AD. Steps not identified with RC are 
recommended and may be deviated from; done as a part of other actions; or done with 
accepted methods different from those given in the Service Bulletin if the RC steps can be 
done and the airplane returned to a serviceable condition. 
These work instructions refer to methods, techniques, and practices described in other 
referenced documents. When the words "refer to" are used and there are other acceptable 
methods, techniques, and practices (including tools, equipment, and test equipment) those 
acceptable methods, techniques, practices (including tools, equipment, and test equipment) 
may be used to complete the work. When the words "in accordance with" are included in the 
instruction, the methods, techniques, and practices specified (including tools, equipment, 
and test equipment) in the referenced document must be used. 
A. PREPARE AIRCRAFT FOR INSPECTION  
(1) Remove electrical power from aircraft in accordance with appropriate Hercules Maintenance 
Manual or Hercules Maintenance Instructions Manual. 
(2) Remove the hydraulic and fuel equipment dry bay access doors from the upper surface of the 
center wing behind engines No. 2 and 3. 
WARNING: DO NOT ENTER FUEL AREAS UNLESS FUEL VAPOR CONTENT IS 0.0 PERCENT 
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL) (NO RESPIRATOR PROTECTION REQUIRED) WITH 
AN OXYGEN CONCENTRATION NOT LESS THAN 19.5 PERCENT. PROVIDE 
CONTINUOUS VENTILATION IN THE FUEL AREA THROUGHOUT THIS PROCEDURE. 
(3) Depuddle, as required, and purge the dry bay areas in accordance with the maintenance manual 
to the 0.0 percent LEL and 19.5 percent oxygen content.

WARNING: ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL AND CLEANING COMPOUND ARE FLAMMABLE AND TOXIC TO 
EYES, SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. SKIN AND EYE PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. 
GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION IS NORMALLY ADEQUATE. AVOID ALL SOURCES OF 
IGNITION. 
(6) Remove oil, grease and residual sealant by wiping area with clean rags wet with ASTM D  770 
Isopropyl Alcohol. Oils, grease and dirt may also be removed using MIL-PRF-87937 Cleaning 
Compound. Residual thin films of sealant may take several applications of solvent, scraping and 
wiping to be completely removed.  See Figure 1. 
(7) Remove any flaking and/or loose paint from the inspection areas. 
NOTE: For the best NDE inspection results, the paint and sealant should be removed from the 
testing area. Coating thickness on the inspection surface greater than 0.010 inch (10 mils) 
thick will significantly reduce inspection sensitivity and can result in failure to detect cracks.   
(8) On both the left and right side of the aircraft, mark the upper surface of the 398827 Center Wing 
Lower Rainbow Fitting inspection area at each tang (13 total per side, 26 per aircraft) as follows. 
See Figure 1, Sheet 4, View E. 
(a) The forward/aft width dimension of each inspection area shall be the same as the width of 
the corresponding node face, approximately 2.40 inches. 
(b) The outboard boundary of each inspection area shall coincide with the start of the chamf er 
of the node. 
(c) The inboard boundary of each inspection area shall extend inboard to the outboard -most 
fasteners on each side of the 398817-3 Reinforcing Straps and around the Reinforcing 
Straps.
