Since the release of the original issue of this service bulletin, it has been found that it is possible that some operators could have removed affected Ram Air Turbines (RAT) or RAT hub assemblies and installed them on other airplanes as they are interchangeable. This revision also adds an FAA Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), removes a step from the Work Instructions and adds maintenance zone information. In addition to these changes, the term "as given in" is changed to "refer to, as an accepted procedure" for non-FAA approved manuals and "in accordance with" for FAA approved manuals to comply with the latest SB standards. Figure references are also updated to say "in accordance with" to comply with the latest SB standards. These sections are changed: 1. Summary: – Concurrent Requirements: Is changed to refer to Paragraph 1.B. – Effectivity: 767-300F and 767-400ER airplanes are added to the effectivity paragraph. – Compliance: FAA Notice of Propose Rule Making 2007-NM-223-AD is added. – Manpower: The manpower table is removed. 2. Planning Information: – Paragraph 1.A.1., Airplanes: The group configuration table is changed as additional airplanes are added. – Paragraph 1.B., Concurrent requirements: Hamilton Sundstrand SB 729548-29-15, dated November 30, 2005 is added to the concurrent requirements. – Paragraph 1.D., Description: A maintenance zone table is added. – Paragraph 1.E., Compliance: The compliance recommendation is changed and FAA Notice of Propose Rule Making 2007-NM-223-AD is added. – Paragraph 1.G., Manpower: Footnote (a) is changed to clarify that the work necessary on each airplane is variable. The word 'required' is changed to 'necessary' in footnote(b). – Paragraph 1.K., Publications Affected: A damage tolerance paragraph is added. 3. Accomplishment Instructions: – Paragraph 3.B., Work Instructions: The original Step 4.b.3 is removed because installation of the new RAT hub assembly is already given in a previous step. The subsequent step numbers are adjusted. – Figure 1: The title is updated to better describe the change. Vertical lines are put on the left edge of each page, except in Paragraph 1.A., Effectivity, to show the location of important changes. Pages with no vertical lines have no important changes.

# 767 Service Bulletin **ALERT Summary**  **Number: 767-29A0110** Original Issue: January 02, 2007 Revision 1: March 08, 2010 ATA System: 2921 **SUBJECT:** HYDRAULIC POWER - Ram Air Turbine (RAT) System - RAT Hub Assembly Inspection 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** Refer to Paragraph 1.B., Concurrent Requirements. **BACKGROUND** This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect and replace the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) hub assembly to prevent a possible fracture of the RAT hub assembly counterweight. A fractured RAT hub assembly counterweight will cause an overspeed condition which could result in turbine blade separation, airplane structural damage, possible injury to passengers, and result in an inoperative RAT. The RAT provides hydraulic power for the operation of the primary flight controls in cases where both engines are shut down in flight. If this service bulletin is not done, an inoperative RAT will cause the loss of hydraulic power to the primary flight controls and will impact the continued safe operation of the airplane. There are two counterweights installed in the RAT hub assembly which are used to regulate the RAT turbine speed. A Ground test of the RAT will show the performance, but does not test the RAT speed through the full range of operation. In flight RAT extensions can generate higher speeds of operation, which will result in higher loads on the counterweight. Hamilton Sundstrand told Boeing that the counterweights in some RATs could be under strength and fracture when the RAT is extended in flight. Counterweights have fractured at speeds within the RAT's range of operation during laboratory tests conducted by Hamilton Sundstrand. As a result, Hamilton Sundstrand requested a recall of several RAT hub assemblies with serial numbers directly before and after the fractured test unit. Equivalent tests were done on RAT counterweights from different manufactured lots. These tests have all resulted in no fault found. This service bulletin tells affected operators to access the RAT and inspect the hub assembly serial number in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand SB 729548-29-15, dated November 30, 2005. Replace the RAT hub assembly if it is on the Hamilton Sundstrand recall list. Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-29-0073 is related to this service bulletin.

Spares Affected Examine your spares supply for the parts or components identified in Paragraph 2.C., Parts Necessary for Each Airplane. If any parts or components are found, refer to Paragraph 2.C. for the recommended use. **B. Concurrent Requirements** The service bulletin listed below must be used before or at the same time as this service bulletin: **Description Service Bulletin**  **Company** This SB contains the serial numbers of the suspect RAT hub assemblies. Hamilton Sundstrand SB 729548-29-15, dated November 30, 2005.Hamilton Sundstrand

**C. Reason** This service bulletin gives instructions to inspect and replace the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) hub assembly to prevent a possible fracture of the RAT hub assembly counterweight. A fractured RAT hub assembly counterweight will cause an overspeed condition which could result in turbine blade separation, airplane structural damage, possible injury to passengers, and result in an inoperative RAT. The RAT provides hydraulic power for the operation of the primary flight controls in cases where both engines are shut down in flight. If this service bulletin is not done, an inoperative RAT will cause the loss of hydraulic power to the primary flight controls and will impact the continued safe operation of the airplane. There are two counterweights installed in the RAT hub assembly which are used to regulate the RAT turbine speed. A Ground test of the RAT will show the performance, but does not test the RAT speed through the full range of operation. In flight RAT extensions can generate higher speeds of operation, which will result in higher loads on the counterweight. Hamilton Sundstrand told Boeing that the counterweights in some RATs could be under strength and fracture when the RAT is extended in flight. Counterweights have fractured at speeds within the RAT's range of operation during laboratory tests conducted by Hamilton Sundstrand. As a result, Hamilton Sundstrand requested a recall of several RAT hub assemblies with serial numbers directly before and after the fractured test unit. Equivalent tests were done on RAT counterweights from different manufactured lots. These tests have all resulted in no fault found. This service bulletin tells affected operators to access the RAT and inspect the hub assembly serial number in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand SB 729548-29-15, dated November 30, 2005. Replace the RAT hub assembly if it is on the Hamilton Sundstrand recall list. Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 767-SRP-29-0073 is related to this service bulletin.
