此份维护提示包含以下提示内容:
1、不同构型位置灯件号互换性;
2、位置灯罩出现裂纹后的航线放行标准及临时处理措施;
3、常见故障处理提示。
一、关于带小翼位置灯及位置灯罩件号及互换性的问题
根据SL描述,带小翼的飞机位置灯可以安装卤素灯,也可以安装LED灯。并且不同构型的位置灯或者频闪灯可混用。如同一架飞机,左侧位置灯装卤素灯,右侧可以装LED灯。下表列出小翼翼尖位置灯及频闪灯相关件号,便于反查。
注意:(1)部分飞机改装小翼后,原适用于无小翼的位置灯在IPC有效性没有修改。(2)在更换不同构型灯组件灯罩或者灯泡时,必须与对应构型的灯组件相匹配。
二、关于位置灯罩出现裂纹后的航线放行标准及临时处理措施
1. 关于翼尖灯罩,AMM57-21-22有检查标准。经咨询波音,灯罩裂纹可临时处理放行。位置灯罩出现裂纹后在完成以下工作后,白天可以放行飞机飞行5个航段:
a) 用金属胶带做临时修理:在裂纹方向用金属胶带以1英寸或更多的间隔重叠覆盖;每次飞行前检查确定裂纹没有进一步扩展或有水气进入灯罩内部。
b)拔出相关系统跳开关,按MEL33-11保留,每次飞行前检查确认胶带完好。
2. 不允许夜航;
3. 作为临时修理措施,在5个飞行循环内尽快更换新的灯罩。
三、常见故障处理建议
1、位置灯单个灯泡不亮。一般是灯泡的问题,如果不确定是卤素灯还是LED灯,准备航材时建议准备卤素灯组件或者LED组件一套,组件已包含灯泡。如果准备灯泡,两种构型的灯泡都准备,手册要求两个灯泡同时更换。另外卤素位置灯底座氧化腐蚀的现象比较常见,更换时注意检查。我们多次遇到更换灯泡过几天又不亮的情况,最后发现底座腐蚀,更换了灯组件。
2、如果位置灯灯罩有裂纹,可以单独更换灯罩,但更换灯罩可能比更换整个灯组件还麻烦。建议有灯组件的话直接更换灯组件。
3、如果翼尖频闪灯不亮,排故时注意严格按手册先隔离转换组件(Stepdown Converter)
,不可贸然将转换组件串至别的飞机测试,以免故障件烧坏灯组件。已经遇到过好几次烧坏灯组件的案例了。

DESCRIPTION:
China Southern found the Left Position Light Lens was cracked on datum airplane, please refer to the ref /A/ attached pictures for the damage. In order to find out the dispatch relief for this circumstance among their 737NG fleet, China Southern Guangxi Maintenance team requests Boeing/APB to address their technical questions below:
1/ Whether the crack damage on lens of position light upon the winglet is dispatchable during day/night operations?
2/ If such damage is dispatchable, please advise the penalty or precaution during airplane night operations.
3/ If such damage is not dispatchable, whether China Southern can apply the speed tape on the crack damage area as temporary solution?
Note: The attachment contains the ref /A/ damage pictures, ref /B/ MEL/DDG for 737NG, ref /C/ CDL from APB, which intends for Boeing reference.
RESPONSE AND/OR REQUIRED ACTION :
Please advise the dispatch relief for the position light at the leading edge on the winglet.
Note: This questions above are associated with fleet wide technical questions in China Southern 737 fleet.
RESPONSE:
Boeing has reviewed your request and provides the following:
1/ The cracked lens of position light on the winglet is dispatchable for day operations (no night operations allowed) for 5 Flight cycles with the following provisions:
a) Apply speed tape for temporary repair. Cover the crack damage with speed tape to overlap the cracks 1 inch or more in each direction. Inspect the crack prior to each flight to verify the crack has not grown or allowed moisture ingress into the lens.
b) Remove power from the system by opening the system circuit breaker, apply MEL item 33-11 (no night dispatch allowed), and inspect the speed tape integrity prior to each flight.
2/ No night operations allowed.
3/ It is acceptable to cover the cracked area with speed tape as a temporary repair mentioned in 1/.
Install a new light lens as soon as available, no later than 5 flight cycles.
