Applicability*9

This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, -300ER, and 777F series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777-53A0100 RB, dated March 16, 2023.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the applicable times specified in the “Compliance” paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777-53A0100 RB, dated March 16, 2023, do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777-53A0100 RB, dated March 16, 2023. Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions required by this AD can be found in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-53A0100, dated March 16, 2023, which is referred to in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777-53A0100 RB, dated March 16, 2023. Note 2 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing certain on-condition actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD can be found in Boeing Service Bulletin 777-53-0084, Revision 2, dated December 9, 2020; Boeing Service Bulletin 777-53-0087 Revision 1, dated March 4, 2020; and Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777-57A0122 RB, dated October 8, 2021.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report indicating multiple findings of cracks in the fuselage skin common to the underwing longeron (UWL). The FAA is issuing this AD to address fuselage skin cracking caused by cold work surface upset that is not removed from the mating parts and high joint load transfer or significant local bending stresses at critical fastener locations. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an inability of a principal structural element (PSE) to sustain limit load, leading to reduced structural integrity of the airplane and possible loss of control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD affects AD 2023-17-14, Amendment 39-22541 (88 FR 60111, August 31, 2023) (AD 2023-17-14).
