COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airworthiness Directive AD 2004-07-11 is related to this service bulletin.

No more work is necessary on the airplanes changed or inspected in accordance with the Revision 1 of this

service bulletin.

REASON FOR REVISION

This revision is sent to:

1. Revise the compliance time for airplanes VR087, VR106, VS710, VS711, VS712, VS731, VS732,

VS882, VS883, VS891, and VS896 which were added to this service bulletin in Revision 1 to be the

same as the original airplanes in the service bulletin. The initial compliance time for these airplanes

was 1,200 flight cycles from Revision 1 date. One operator noted that the compliance time for the

original airplanes in the service bulletin was before the accumulation of 12,000 total flight cycles, or

within 1,200 flight cycles after the effective date of FAA AD 2004-07-11, whichever occurs later, and

believes that it should be the same as the airplanes added in Revision 1. We agreed that the initial

compliance time for the airplanes added in Revision 1 should be the same as the original airplanes in

the service bulletin. This results in the effectivity being split into two groups to clarify the different

compliance times for the airplanes in the Original Issue and the airplanes added in Revision 1.

2. Clarify summary page illustration and work instructions to match changes in logic diagram made in

Revision 1.

3. Clarify the compliance time for Group 1 Airplanes in the logic diagram to add: whichever occurs later.

Add Effective date of AD 2004-07-11 to Compliance section.

These sections were changed:

1. Summary

a. Illustration - Revised text to match Action paragraph.

2. Planning Information

BACKGROUND

The related 767-200, -300, and -300F service bulletin is 767-27-0184 for line numbers 1 through 921.

Accomplishment of this service bulletin will detect cracking of the outboard flap deflection control track. A fractured

deflection control track could result in the loss of an outboard flap in the event there is a loss of the primary flap

support.

The outboard flap deflection control track is located at the outboard end of the outboard flap. The track reduces

the deflection of the outboard flap and provides an alternate load path to retain the flap in the event there is a

loss of the primary flap support. Two operators have reported cracked or fractured deflection control tracks on

three airplanes with approximately 35,700 to 54,400 flight-hours and 6,550 to 14,100 flight-cycles. The cracks

all initiated in the aft lower lug run-out region. In one case the crack initiated at inclusions that is typical of the

slag products that are a result of the casting process. After a crack initiates it is propagated by fatigue until the

track fractures. The three cases of cracking all occurred on 767-300 airplanes. However the tracks on the

767-400ER airplane are similar in design and cracking could occur on these airplanes at the same location.

Inspection of the track will detect cracking before the track fractures. Installation of the new outboard flap

deflection control track assembly with thicker aft lug run-out will help prevent cracks and terminates the repeat

inspections.

at the interval shown in Figure 1. If cracks are found, replace the track assembly with a 113T8333-9 track

assembly and terminate the repeat inspections. Retract the flaps.

C. Reason

The related 767-200, -300, and -300F service bulletin is 767-27-0184 for line numbers 1 through 921.

Accomplishment of this service bulletin will detect cracking of the outboard flap deflection control track.

A fractured deflection control track could result in the loss of an outboard flap in the event there is a

loss of the primary flap support.

The outboard flap deflection control track is located at the outboard end of the outboard flap. The track

reduces the deflection of the outboard flap and provides an alternate load path to retain the flap in the

event there is a loss of the primary flap support. Two operators have reported cracked or fractured

initiated at inclusions that is typical of the slag products that are a result of the casting process. After

a crack initiates it is propagated by fatigue until the track fractures. The three cases of cracking all

occurred on 767-300 airplanes. However the tracks on the 767-400ER airplane are similar in design

and cracking could occur on these airplanes at the same location.

Inspection of the track will detect cracking before the track fractures. Installation of the new outboard

the repeat inspections.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-57-0154 and 767-SRP-57-0156 is related to this

service bulletin.

Revision 1 is sent to:

1. This revision is sent to update the logic diagram in Figure 1 and add new outboard flap deflection

control track assembly with thicker aft lug run-out as terminating action to the repeat inspections.

After Installing the new outboard flap deflection control track assembly with thicker aft lug run-out,

it is not necessary to do the repeat inspections of the outboard flap deflection control track.

2. Add 767-200 and -300 Airplanes VR087, VR106, VS710, VS711, VS712, VS731, VS732, VS882,

VS883, VS891, and VS896 to the service bulletin. These airplanes were delivered with the same

flap installation as the 767-400ER airplanes and therefore should have been in this service bulletin.

3. The latest service bulletin format standards have also been updated where applicable.

4. Terminology has been changed in the Work Instructions to agree with the terminology defined in

Paragraph 3.A., General Information - Notes.

BOEING SERVICE BULLETIN 767-27A0183
1. Revise the compliance time for airplanes VR087, VR106, VS710, VS711, VS712, VS731, VS732,

VS882, VS883, VS891, and VS896 which were added to this service bulletin in Revision 1 to be

the same as the original airplanes in the service bulletin. The initial compliance time for these

airplanes was 1,200 flight cycles from Revision 1 date. One operator noted that the compliance

time for the original airplanes in the service bulletin was before the accumulation of 12,000 total

flight cycles, or within 1,200 flight cycles after the effective date of FAA AD 2004-07-11, whichever

occurs later, and believes that it should be the same as the airplanes added in Revision 1. We

agreed that the initial compliance time for the airplanes added in Revision 1 should be the same

as the original airplanes in the service bulletin. This results in the effectivity being split into two

groups to clarify the different compliance times for the airplanes in the Original Issue and the

airplanes added in Revision 1.

2. Clarify summary page illustration and work instructions to match changes in logic diagram made

in Revision 1.

3. Clarify the compliance time for Group 1 Airplanes in the logic diagram to add: whichever occurs

later. Add Effective date of AD 2004-07-11 to Compliance section.

D. Description

Extend the trailing edge flaps and deactivate. Do a High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection

of the aft lower lug of the outboard flap deflection control track for cracks. If no cracks are found, repeat

the inspections at the interval shown in Figure 1. If cracks are found, replace the track assembly with

a 113T8333-9 track assembly and terminate the repeat inspections. Retract the flaps.

Revision 1:

1. No more work is necessary on airplanes changed as shown in the original issue of this service

bulletin. However, operators must continue to do the inspection detailed at the times given in

Paragraph 1.E., Compliance until new improved outboard flap deflection control track is installed.

After the installation of the new outboard flap deflection control track assembly with thicker aft lug

run-out, it is not necessary to do the repeat inspections of the outboard flap deflection control track

assembly.

2. Airplanes VR087, VR106, VS710, VS711, VS712, VS731, VS732, VS882, VS883, VS891, and

VS896 were added to this service bulletin effectivity. These airplanes should be inspected in

accordance with this service bulletin within 1,200 flight-cycles after the Revision 1 date of this

service bulletin. Continue to do the repeat inspection detailed at the times given in Paragraph 1.E.,

Compliance until new outboard flap deflection control track assembly with thicker aft lug run-out

is installed. After the installation of the new outboard flap deflection control track assembly with

thicker aft lug run-out, it is not necessary to do the repeat inspections of the outboard flap deflection

control track assembly.

Revision 2:

1. No more work is necessary on the airplanes changed or inspected in accordance with the Revision

1 of this service bulletin.

The work in this service bulletin is done in the maintenance zone(s) given below.
