# 747 Service Bulletin **Summary Number: 747-28-2315**  Original Issue: January 11, 2012 ATA System: 2811 **SUBJECT:** FUEL - Fuel Tanks - Access Door Inspection/Replacement **CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS** Refer to Paragraph 1.B., Concurrent Requirements. **BACKGROUND** This service bulletin provides instructions to inspect the Wing Fuel Tank Access Doors to make sure that Impact Resistant Access Doors are installed in the correct locations and stencils and index markers are applied. Fire can result from damage to a standard access door if it is located where an Impact Resistant Access Door is required. An operator identified a standard access door located where an Impact Resistant Access Door is required. In addition, the operator examined its spares stock and found that some Impact Resistant Access Doors were without stencils. These findings have raised a concern about the possibility of more standard access doors being installed at locations where Impact Resistant Access Doors are required. Impact Resistant Access Doors minimize risk of penetration from engine debris or objects thrown by airplane tires. By accomplishing the inspection in this service bulletin, operators can make sure that stencils and index markers are applied and Impact Resistant Access Doors are installed at the correct locations, providing increased resistance to Wing Fuel Tank penetration. Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-57-0225 is related to this service bulletin. **ACTION** Identify the Wing Fuel Tank Access Doors. Do a General Visual Inspection or an ultrasonic Non-Destructive Test (NDT) to make sure that Impact Resistant Access Doors are installed in the correct locations. If a standard access door is identified in a location where an Impact Resistant Access Door is required, replace the door with an Impact Resistant Access Door. Do a General Visual Inspection to make sure that stencils and index markers are applied. If a stencil and/or index marker is missing, apply new stencil and/or index marker. **EFFECTIVITY** 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SP, 747SR airplanes.

**C. Reason** This service bulletin provides instructions to inspect the Wing Fuel Tank Access Doors to make sure that Impact Resistant Access Doors are installed in the correct locations and stencils and index markers are applied. Fire can result from damage to a standard access door if it is located where an Impact Resistant Access Door is required. An operator identified a standard access door located where an Impact Resistant Access Door is required. In addition, the operator examined its spares stock and found that some Impact Resistant Access Doors were without stencils. These findings have raised a concern about the possibility of more standard access doors being installed at locations where Impact Resistant Access Doors are required. Impact Resistant Access Doors minimize risk of penetration from engine debris or objects thrown by airplane tires. By accomplishing the inspection in this service bulletin, operators can make sure that stencils and index markers are applied and Impact Resistant Access Doors are installed at the correct locations, providing increased resistance to Wing Fuel Tank penetration. Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 747-SRP-57-0225 is related to this service bulletin. **D. Description** Identify the Wing Fuel Tank Access Doors. Do a General Visual Inspection or an ultrasonic Non-Destructive Test (NDT) to make sure that Impact Resistant Access Doors are installed in the correct locations. If a standard access door is identified in a location where an Impact Resistant Access Door is required, replace the door with an Impact Resistant Access Door.

BLANK PAGE**3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS A. GENERAL INFORMATION**  **CAUTION:** KEEP THE WORK AREA, WIRES AND ELECTRICAL BUNDLES CLEAN OF METAL PARTICLES OR CONTAMINATION WHEN YOU USE TOOLS. UNWANTED MATERIAL, METAL PARTICLES OR CONTAMINATION CAUGHT IN WIRE BUNDLES CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BUNDLES. DAMAGED WIRE BUNDLES CAN CAUSE SPARKS OR OTHER ELECTRICAL DAMAGE. **NOTE:** 1. Manual titles are referred to by acronyms. Refer to Paragraph 1.J., References, for definition of the acronyms. 2. Obey all of the warnings and cautions given in the specified manual sections. 3. Unless shown differently, these dimensions and tolerances are used: – Linear dimensions are in inches – Tolerance on linear dimensions, other than rivet and bolt edge margins, is plus or minus 0.03 inch – Tolerance on rivet and bolt edge margin is plus or minus 0.05 inch – Angular tolerance is plus or minus 2 degrees 4. If the length of any fastener specified in this service bulletin does not meet the installation standards in SRM Chapter 51, then a fastener of the same specification, or an approved substitute, with a length which meets the installation standards in SRM Chapter 51 may be used. 5. A General Visual Inspection is defined as: A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within touching distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to enhance visual access to all exposed surfaces in the inspection area. This level of inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-light and may require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked. 6. A Non-Destructive Test (NDT) is an inspection/testing procedure used to determine the condition of a material in such a manner as to not damage or destroy the material under investigation. The material is examined for flaws or conditions that could be detrimental to the integrity of the structure. 7. These work instructions refer to procedures included in other Boeing documents. When the words "refer to" are used and the operator has an accepted alternative procedure, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words "in accordance with" are included in the instruction, the procedure in the Boeing document must be used.
