SUBJECT: STRUCTURES - Airframe Drainage - Horizontal Stabilizer Center Section - Gutter 

Installation

This Revision includes all pages of the service bulletin.

COMPLIANCE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS REVISION

No more work is necessary on airplanes changed as shown in the initial release of this service bulletin.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice of Proposed Rule Making 2005-NM-058-AD is related to this 

service bulletin.

REASON FOR REVISION

This revision is sent to improve the work instructions as a result of access restrictions found during the service 

bulletin validation. Additionally, based on one other operator report revision 1 is sent to provide instructions to 

install the gutter as a one piece assembly. Instructions throughout the service bulletin are changed to provide 

two options to install the gutter as one piece or as two pieces.

As a part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VN097 by Service 

Bulletin 767-51A0027 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. In the validation the gutter was 

installed in two pieces. The change completed on airplane VN097 by Service Bulletin 767-51A0027 is equivalent 

to the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin.

Changes to this service bulletin include:

– References to a FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making are added throughout the service bulletin.

– Material Information - A new 180T3250-9 gutter assembly is added. The 180T3250-4 gutter assembly is 

optional to the 180T3250-9 gutter assembly. The Boeing drawing number and parts modified and 

reidentified are changed. The quantity of optional rivets supplied by the operator is reduced.

– Accomplishment Instructions - An additional access door is added. Maintenance manual references to test 

the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot systems are added. A stabilizer 

tool reference has been removed as it is acceptable to use another lock tool. A maintenance manual 

reference to install the service platform is changed.

– Figure 1 is changed to add a dimension for the gutter assembly cut location.

– Figure 2 is changed to give rework instructions if cracks are found and to add an alternative high frequency 

eddy current inspection for cracks. The two possible side brace fittings installed after the rework are 

identified.

– Figures 3 and 4 are changed to remove the option to install rivets and to change the quantity of hi loks used 

to install the gutter assembly at each hydraulic bracket.

– Figure 6 is added to disconnect and move the hydraulic lines at the hydraulic control brackets.

SUBJECT: STRUCTURES - Airframe Drainage - Horizontal Stabilizer Center Section - Gutter 

Installation

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS

None.

BACKGROUND

This service bulletin gives instructions to install a gutter on the horizontal stabilizer center section. This gutter 

will channel water that enters Section 48 at the side of body seals away from the elevator control system 

components aft of the horizontal stabilizer. This will make it less likely that ice can accumulate on the elevator 

control system components. Ice on the elevator systems can restrict elevator movement which limits the ability 

of the flight crew to make elevator control inputs, resulting in reduced controllability of the airplane.

Boeing has received three reports of stiff or jammed elevator controls. Analysis of all three reports indicated that 

ice had formed on the elevator control components aft of the horizontal stabilizer, which restricted the movement 

of the elevator controls. Water was found to get into Section 48 of the airplane through the fairing panels at the 

side of the body. The ice then formed from water that had accumulated on the horizontal stabilizer center 

section. In one case, the water accumulated due to a leak in the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) inlet duct. In another 

case, the water came from a leak in a galley water drain line.

Airplane line numbers 1 through 110 have side of body seal doors that do not allow water to enter Section 48 

and therefore, are not subject to this service bulletin. After line number 921, a gutter is installed on the horizontal 

stabilizer center section in production.

Accomplishment of the modification shown in this service bulletin will make it less likely that movement of the 

elevator control system will be restricted due to the accumulation of ice on the elevator control system 

components aft of the horizontal stabilizer center section.

As a part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VN097 by Service 

Bulletin 767-51A0027 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. The change completed on 

airplane VN097 by Service Bulletin 767-51A0027 is equivalent to the release of Revision 1 of this service 

bulletin. 

The related 767-400ER Boeing service bulletin is 767-51A0028.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-27-0147 is related to this service bulletin.

ACTION (PRR B12901-51S)

Get access to the horizontal stabilizer center section through the service doors 312AR and 313AL. Disconnect 

6 hydraulic lines. Rework the horizontal stabilizer side brace fittings to enlarge the drain holes.

Option 1: Install the gutter as two pieces along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer center 

section, on the controls brackets. Seal the gap between the gutter sections. Install two splices to re-join the 

gutter sections using shims between mating surfaces. Apply sealant between the gutter, the rear upper spar 

chord and splices.

Option 2: Install the gutter as one piece along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer center 

section, on the controls brackets. Apply sealant between the gutter and the rear upper spar chord.

Do system tests of the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot systems.

EFFECTIVITY

B. Concurrent Requirements

None.

C. Reason

This service bulletin gives instructions to install a gutter on the horizontal stabilizer center section. This 

gutter will channel water that enters Section 48 at the side of body seals away from the elevator control 

system components aft of the horizontal stabilizer. This will make it less likely that ice can accumulate 

on the elevator control system components. Ice on the elevator systems can restrict elevator 

movement which limits the ability of the flight crew to make elevator control inputs, resulting in reduced 

controllability of the airplane.

Boeing has received three reports of stiff or jammed elevator controls. Analysis of all three reports 

indicated that ice had formed on the elevator control components aft of the horizontal stabilizer, which 

restricted the movement of the elevator controls. Water was found to get into Section 48 of the airplane 

through the fairing panels at the side of the body. The ice then formed from water that had 

accumulated on the horizontal stabilizer center section. In one case, the water accumulated due to a 

leak in the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) inlet duct. In another case, the water came from a leak in a 

galley water drain line.

Airplane line numbers 1 through 110 have side of body seal doors that do not allow water to enter 

Section 48 and therefore, are not subject to this service bulletin. After line number 921, a gutter is 

installed on the horizontal stabilizer center section in production.

Accomplishment of the modification shown in this service bulletin will make it less likely that movement 

of the elevator control system will be restricted due to the accumulation of ice on the elevator control 

system components aft of the horizontal stabilizer center section.

The related 767-400ER Boeing service bulletin is 767-51A0028.

Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-27-0147 is related to this service bulletin.

Revision 1 is sent to improve the work instructions as a result of access restrictions found during the 

service bulletin validation. Additionally, based on one other operator report revision 1 is sent to provide 

instructions to install the gutter as a one piece assembly. Instructions throughout the service bulletin 

are changed to provide two options to install the gutter as one piece or as two pieces.

As a part of a service bulletin validation program, this change was completed on airplane VN097 by 

Service Bulletin 767-51A0027 before the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin. In the validation 

the gutter was installed in two pieces. The change completed on airplane VN097 by Service Bulletin 

767-51A0027 is equivalent to the release of Revision 1 of this service bulletin.

Changes to this service bulletin include:

– References to a FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making are added throughout the service bulletin.

– Material Information - A new 180T3250-9 gutter assembly is added. The 180T3250-4 gutter 

assembly is optional to the 180T3250-9 gutter assembly. The Boeing drawing number and parts 

modified and reidentified are changed. The quantity of optional rivets supplied by the operator is 

reduced.

– Accomplishment Instructions - An additional access door is added. Maintenance manual 

references to test the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot 

systems are added. A stabilizer tool reference has been removed as it is acceptable to use 

another lock tool. A maintenance manual reference to install the service platform is changed.

Revision 1: October 12, 2006 767-51A0027

BOEING PROPRIETARY - Copyright © Unpublished Work - See page 1 for details. 23 of 62

– Figure 1 is changed to add a dimension for the gutter assembly cut location.

– Figure 2 is changed to give rework instructions if cracks are found and to add an alternative high 

frequency eddy current inspection for cracks. The two possible side brace fittings installed after 

the rework are identified.

– Figures 3 and 4 are changed to remove the option to install rivets and to change the quantity of 

hi loks used to install the gutter assembly at each hydraulic bracket.

– Figure 6 is added to disconnect and move the hydraulic lines at the hydraulic control brackets.

– Figure 7 is added to identify a locator mark on the gutter when installing the gutter as one piece.

– Figure 8 is added to install the gutter as one piece.

– Figure 9 is added to apply sealant between the upper spar chord and gutter when installing the 

gutter as one piece.

– Figure 10 is added to connect the hydraulic lines at the hydraulic control brackets.

D. Description

Get access to the horizontal stabilizer center section through the service doors 312AR and 313AL. 

Disconnect 6 hydraulic lines. Rework the horizontal stabilizer side brace fittings to enlarge the drain 

holes.

Option 1: Install the gutter as two pieces along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer 

center section, on the controls brackets. Seal the gap between the gutter sections. Install two splices 

to re-join the gutter sections using shims between mating surfaces. Apply sealant between the gutter, 

the rear upper spar chord and splices.

Option 2: Install the gutter as one piece along the rear spar upper chord of the horizontal stabilizer 

center section, on the controls brackets. Apply sealant between the gutter and the rear upper spar 

chord.

Do system tests of the elevator control system, elevator power control actuator and autopilot systems.

NOTE: Boeing Service Bulletins 767-25A0322, 767-27A0192 and 767-49A0035 are also related to

767-SRP-27-0147. Boeing recommends that operators accomplish these service bulletins,

and this service bulletin, to make it less likely that movement of the elevator control system

will be restricted due to the accumulation of ice on the elevator control system components

aft of the horizontal stabilizer center section.

Revision 1 - No more work is necessary on airplanes changed as shown in the initial release of this 

service bulletin.

E. Compliance

Boeing recommends that operators accomplish the modifications shown in this bulletin within five 

years after the issue date of initial release of this service bulletin.

FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making 2005-NM-058-AD is related to this service bulletin.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will possibly release an Airworthiness Directive related to 

this service bulletin. The Airworthiness Directive will make the compliance tasks and times given in 

this service bulletin mandatory.

(a) Inject sealant BMS 5-95 per SOPM 20-50-19 to fill void created beneath the three hydraulic brackets 

and the upper spar chord. Apply BMS 5-95 sealant per SOPM 20-50-19 at final installation of gutter to 

completely fill faying surfaces between upper spar chord and gutter, and to fair the upper skin to the forward 

flange of the gutter the entire length of the gutter. Allow sealant to dry for 2 hours.

(b) Make sure there is a minimum 2 D edge margin at fastener locations. Deburr all sharp edges.

(c) Shim gaps greater than 0.010 inches prior to installation. Remove 0.003 inch laminations as required. 

Refer to SOPM 20-50-20 and 767-200 SRM 51-20-11 OR 767-300 SRM 51-20-11 OR 

767-300F SRM 51-20-11. Optional solid shim stock and multiple shims can be used to prevent bending the 

bracket and gutter flanges during installation.

(d) Inject sealant BMS 5-95 per SOPM 20-50-19 to fill void between gutter and splice.

(e) It is acceptable to use solid rivets instead of bolts and collars. Install rivets in a 0.159 - 0.171 inch hole 

diameter.
