C. REASON

(1) HISTORY

An operator has reported instances of damage to the rod end of the MLG retraction

actuator, found during the aircraft maintenance procedures. Until August 2009, 6

(six) MLG retract actuators from 4 (four) aircraft were found damaged on their rod

ends. Further analysis revealed that the MLG retraction actuator eye and bearing

may be severely damaged. In a bench test, a damaged retraction actuator removed

from the fleet performed 17,000 FC with no additional damage to the MLG retraction

actuator rod.

Although it is not likely to happen, the analysis revealed that the actuator rod may

break, causing a gear extension with no hydraulic damping. In this condition, the

lower side stay bolt, which is the mechanical load fuse in the locking assembly, may

be damaged causing the unlocking of the MLG.

(2) OBJECTIVE

To present instructions for doing a visual inspection on the LH and RH MLG

retraction actuator rod-end, bolt and anti-rotation pin and, if necessary, replace the

MLG retraction actuator, bolt and/or anti-rotation pin.

(3) EXPECTED BENEFITS

The purpose of this bulletin is to prevent the failure of the retraction actuator.

(4) REVISION HISTORY

None.

D. DESCRIPTION

This Bulletin is divided into 3 PARTS, as follows:

PART I LH and RH MLG Retraction Actuator Inspection

Applicable to: Applicable to 1.A. SB EFFECTIVITY

The procedure presented in this PART consists of inspecting the LH and RH MLG

retraction actuator rod-end, bolt, cotter pin and anti-rotation pin for the evidence of

damage, rod-end stiffness and positioning, and:

– If a discrepancy is found in the cotter pin, reinstall the washer, nut and cotter pin.

– If a discrepancy is found at the other parts during this inspection, replace the affected

parts according to PART II or PART III, as applicable.

– If there is no discrepancy in the MLG retraction actuator, bolt, cotter pin and

anti-rotation pin no action is required.

To do this, it is necessary to gain access to the LH and RH MLG area.

PART II LH MLG Retraction Actuator Replacement

Applicable to: Applicable to 1.A. SB EFFECTIVITY

The procedure presented in this PART consists of:

– Replacing the LH MLG retraction actuator PN 190-70980-403 with a new one bearing

the same part number. For the replacement with PN 190-70980-405 simultaneous

accomplishment of SB190LIN-32-0015 - REPLACEMENT OF MLG RETRACTION

ACTUATOR is required.

– Replacing the anti-rotation pin with a new one bearing the same PN, if necessary,

– If a discrepancy is found in the MLG retraction actuator attachment bolt during the

accomplishment of PART I, its replacement with a new one bearing the same PN is

necessary.

To do this, it is necessary to gain access to the LH MLG area.

A limited number of units will be placed in a rotable pool for the operator’s use.

Coordination of this rotable pool is administered by the Liebherr-Aerospace. Operators

should contact Liebherr-Aerospace for scheduling information at the address mentioned

in paragraph 2.B. INDUSTRY SUPPORT INFORMATION.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: 1) For the purpose of this Service Bulletin, a General Visual Inspection

(GVI) is: “A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation

or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity. This level

of inspection is made from within touching distance, unless otherwise

specified. A mirror may be necessary to enhance visual access to all

exposed surfaces in the inspection area. This level of inspection is

made under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight,

hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-light and may require removal or

opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders or platforms may be

required to gain proximity to the area being checked.”

2) Obey all of the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS included in the referenced

manuals and procedures.

3) The Manuals and other documents are referred to by acronyms or using

a simplified form. Refer to section 1.J. REFERENCES for a more

complete definition.

The steps below outline the general accomplishment instructions.

The detailed sequence is included in the respective figure, when necessary.

3. Perform a visual inspection on the rod-end of the retraction actuator and on bolt PN

2821-0028 used to attach the actuator to the shock strut as follows:

(a) Check if the MLG retraction actuator rod-end is at the center line of the shock strut

lug. See Detail B.

(b) Check the MLG retraction actuator rod-end for any visual damage. See Detail B.

(c) Check if bolt PN 2821-0028 is in the proper position (not rotated) and check if there
