# 767 Service Bulletin **ALERT Summary**  **Number: 767-54A0101** Original Issue: September 23, 1999 Revision 5: June 29, 2010 ATA System: 5451 **SUBJECT:** NACELLES/PYLONS - Attach Fittings - Midspar Fitting Inspection, Rework, and Replacement THIS BULLETIN IS SENT TO THE OPERATORS OF RECORD OF THE AIRPLANES SHOWN IN PARAGRAPH 1.A., EFFECTIVITY. IF AN AIRPLANE HAS BEEN LEASED OR SOLD, SEND THIS SERVICE BULLETIN TO THE NEW OPERATOR. IF APPLICABLE SPARES HAVE BEEN SOLD, SEND THIS SERVICE BULLETIN TO THE NEW OWNER. **CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS** For Part 4 - Terminating Action the related service bulletins are 767-54-0080, 767-54-0081, 767-54-0052, 767-54-0061, 767-54A0062, 767-54-0069, 767-57-0063, 767-54-0072, 767-54-0074, 767-54A0094. **BACKGROUND** Accomplishment of this service bulletin will ensure early detection of cracks in the horizontal tangs of the strut midspar fitting. A cracked midspar fitting could result in a fractured fitting which could lead to strut and engine separation. One operator has reported a cracked inboard midspar fitting on a number two pylon of a General Electric powered airplane. The crack was found during a midspar fitting bushing replacement. The airplane had accumulated 21,375 hours and 11,563 cycles. This crack was due to fatigue and occurred much earlier than predicted by Boeing analysis. The midspar fittings are part of the redundant strut-to-wing load path. More frequent inspections of the midspar fittings are necessary to ensure the structural integrity required for damage tolerance. Without early detection, a cracked midspar fitting could eventually result in separation of an engine and strut. Subsequent to the initial release of this service bulletin, six operators have reported finding cracks in seven midspar fittings on airplanes with approximately 27,914 to 61,347 hours and 11,640 to 23,826 flight cycles. One of the cracks was next to the third row of fasteners in the upper tang of a midspar fitting. Therefore, the inspection and rework requirements have changed to include the aft most eight (8) fastener locations common to the upper and lower tangs of the midspar fittings, instead of the aft most two (2) fastener locations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) which requires incorporation of this service bulletin. Subsequent to the release of Revision 3 of this service bulletin, one operator has reported finding a crack in the closeout angle common to the aft most row of fasteners for the midspar fitting. An eddy current inspection of the fastener holes revealed that the midspar fitting lower tang was also cracked in the area under the closeout angle.

BOEING PROPRIETARY - Copyright © Unpublished Work - See page 1 for details. Original Issue: September 23, 1999 767-54A0101 Revision 5: June 29, 2010 7 of 49Subsequent to the release of Revision 4 of this service bulletin, one operator reported two incidents of cracks in the midspar fitting tangs. The first report found severed upper and lower tangs at the aft two fastener locations in the Number 1 pylon inboard midspar fitting. The cracks were found during a routine check of a 767-300 airplane at approximately 92,205 flight hours and 14,969 cycles. This airplane had incurred 408 flight cycles from the previous inspection. The second report found cracks in the Number 1 pylon inboard midspar fitting lower tang, between the aft two fastener holes, on a 767-300 airplane at approximately 94176 flight hours and 15405 cycles. This airplane had incurred 830 cycles from the previous inspection. Boeing Service Related Problems (SRP) 767-SRP-54-0107 and 767-SRP-54-0133 are related to this service bulletin. **ACTION** For each midspar fitting, do a Detailed Inspection of the tangs at the aft most eight (8) fastener locations for cracks. Also do a surface High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) Inspection of the close out angle around the two fasteners common to the closeout angle and the midspar fitting. If no cracks are found, repeat the inspection at the intervals specified in Figure 1. If cracks are found in the closeout angle, remove the two fasteners common to the closeout angle and the midspar fitting, and do the PART 2 - OPEN HOLE HFEC INSPECTION. Contact Boeing for repair instructions if cracks are only found in the closeout angle. Optional to Detailed Inspection: Do a HFEC Inspection of the fastener holes. If no cracks are found, rework the holes as necessary and repeat the inspection at the intervals specified in Figure 1. If cracks are found or any of the fastener holes are larger than 0.5322 inch, do Part 4 - Terminating Action or contact Boeing for rework instructions. The terminating action for this service bulletin is to do Part 4, which replaces the midspar fittings as specified by the 767 Strut Improvement Program (SIP) service bulletins or contact Boeing for additional inspection instructions. **EFFECTIVITY** All 767 airplanes line numbers 1 to 663 powered by General Electric and Pratt-Whitney engines. **COMPLIANCE** The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an Airworthiness Directive related to Revision 5 of this service bulletin. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in Revision 5 of this service bulletin mandatory. See Figure 1 for compliance recommendations and maintenance alternatives. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2005-19-23 is related to this service bulletin. **INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION** Boeing warranty remedies are not available for the inspection or repair procedures given in this service bulletin. The inspection and repair procedures given in this service bulletin are not covered by Program Letter BPL 6-1151-757/767PGM-120 R4 . **MANPOWER** Refer to Paragraph 1.G., Manpower.

Description** PART 1 - DETAILED INSPECTION of MIDSPAR FITTINGS and SURFACE HIGH FREQUENCY EDDY CURRENT (HFEC) INSPECTION of CLOSEOUT ANGLE: For each midspar fitting, do a Detailed Inspection of the tangs at the aft most eight (8) fastener locations for cracks. Also do a surface High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) Inspection of the close out angle around the two fasteners common to the closeout angle and the midspar fitting. If no cracks are found, repeat the inspection at the intervals specified in Figure 1. If cracks are found in the closeout angle, remove the two fasteners common to the closeout angle and the midspar fitting, and do the PART 2 - OPEN HOLE HFEC INSPECTION. Contact Boeing for repair instructions if cracks are only found in the closeout angle. PART 2 - OPEN HOLE HFEC INSPECTION (Optional to Part 1 inspections) Do a HFEC inspection of the fastener holes. If no cracks are found, do Part 3 - Hole Rework and repeat the inspection at the intervals specified in Figure 1. If cracks are found, or any of the fastener holes are larger than 0.5322 inch, do Part 4 - Terminating Action. PART 3 - HOLE REWORK If necessary, oversize the holes where HFEC inspection was done and install oversize fasteners. PART 4 - TERMINATING ACTION Replace the midspar fittings as specified in the 767 Strut Improvement Program (SIP) service bulletins.
