** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
1. General
The rear fuselage assembly is a pressurized area, which extends from FR47 to FR70. The passenger compartment floor divides the rear fuselage into its upper and lower fuselage sections.
The upper section of the fuselage assembly contains:
  • the aft section of the passenger cabin
  • the AFT passenger/crew doors (Ref. AMM D/O 52-13-00-00), installed between FR66 and FR68, left and right
  • the aft utility area
  • the galleys
  • the lavatories.
The lower section of the fuselage assembly contains:
  • the AFT cargo compartment
  • the AFT cargo-compartment door (Ref. AMM D/O 52-32-00-00), installed on the right side of the fuselage, between FR52A and FR56
  • the BULK cargo compartment
  • the BULK cargo-compartment door (Ref. AMM D/O 52-33-00-00), installed on the right side of the fuselage, between FR60 and FR62.

3. Description
A. Rear Fuselage Main Structure
The main structure (Ref. AMM D/O 53-41-00-00) is an assembly of skin plates, frames and stringers, which are riveted together to make the fuselage shell. The passenger compartment floor panels (Ref. AMM D/O 53-42-00-00) are fastened to top beams, seat tracks and cross beams. Support struts (Ref. AMM D/O 53-43-00-00) connect the cross beams to the frames. Door frames and braces make the fuselage structure stronger in the areas of the doors. Fittings (Ref. AMM D/O 53-46-00-00) are installed at the joints of the primary structural parts and components.
B. Cargo Compartments
Access to the AFT cargo compartment is through the AFT cargo-compartment door. The BULK cargo compartment is installed behind the AFT cargo compartment. Nets divide the two cargo compartments. Access to the BULK cargo compartment is through the AFT cargo compartment.
Access to the AFT cargo compartment is through the AFT cargo-compartment door. The BULK cargo compartment is installed behind the AFT cargo compartment. Access to the BULK cargo compartment is through the BULK cargo-compartment door or through the AFT cargo compartment.
C. Dorsal Fin
The dorsal fin (Ref. AMM D/O 53-45-00-00) is a fairing, which is installed at the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer-to-fuselage joint. The fairing permits the airflow to flow smoothly around the joint, and keeps the air turbulence to a minimum.
D. Drains
Drain valves (Ref. AMM D/O 53-49-00-00) are installed in the bottom of the fuselage, at locations where it is possible for water and condensation to collect. Drain holes in the internal structure let the water and condensation flow to the drain valves.
