REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

Inspection of an A330 aircraft fitted with Basic Main Landing Gear (MLG) has shown that the MLG Side

Stay Upper Cardan Pin (UCP) can migrate from its original position and that the UCP nut and retainer

can become detached. The reported MLG sidestay UCP migration event had been caused by corrosion,

due to lack of jointing compound and inadequate sealant application during MLG installation. Therefore,

this issue affects any MLG that has had a UCP replacement or re-installation, since Entry Into Service

(EIS), irrespective of MLG overhaul.

The loss of the side stay UCP locking function can lead to a complete migration of the UCP and

disconnection of the MLG side stay upper arm from the aircraft structure.

An inspection is considered necessary to capture any corrosion that may be present on the UCP and

associated nut threads. Corrosion may contribute to migration of the UCP. The aim of this inspection

Service Bulletin is to request operators to:

- do a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin Locking Assembly

- check for corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the threads on the UCP and UCP Nut

- if corrosion, pitting and/or damage is found on the UCP or UCP Nut, the damaged parts are to be

replaced before further flight.

Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will help in the early detection of corrosion

and/or damage to the UCP and nut retainer assembly. This minimizes the possibility of a potential

unsafe condition arising from the disconnection of the upper side stay arm from the aircraft structure.

In addition, to prevent any improper re-installation of an Upper Cardan Pin on a MLG, Airbus amended

the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) on OCT 01/14.

(2) Objective/Action

An inspection is considered necessary to capture any corrosion that may be present on

the UCP and associated nut threads. Corrosion may contribute to migration of the UCP.

The aim of this inspection Service Bulletin is to request operators to:

- do a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin Locking

Assembly

- check for corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the threads on the UCP and UCP Nut

- if corrosion, pitting and/or damage is found on the UCP or UCP Nut, the damaged

parts are to be replaced before further flight.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will help in the early detection

of corrosion and/or damage to the UCP and nut retainer assembly. This minimizes the

possibility of a potential unsafe condition arising from the disconnection of the upper side

stay arm from the aircraft structure.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

In addition, to prevent any improper re-installation of an Upper Cardan Pin on a MLG,

Airbus amended the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) on OCT 01/14.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Task 325115-832-895-001 - Inspection

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS

INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES ARE

IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:

- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS

- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES

- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS

- COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.

MOVEMENT OF COMPONENTS CAN KILL OR INJURE PERSONS.

CAUTION: ALWAYS OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS THAT FOLLOW TO KEEP

ELECTRICAL WIRING IN A SATISFACTORY CONDITION (ELECTRICALLY

AND MECHANICALLY SERVICEABLE). WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE

WORK, REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS, ALWAYS KEEP ELECTRICAL WIRING,

COMPONENTS AND THE WORK AREA AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. TO DO

THIS:

- PUT PROTECTION, SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING, CLOTHS, ETC; AS

NECESSARY ON WIRING AND COMPONENTS.

- REGULARLY REMOVE ALL SHAVINGS, UNWANTED MATERIAL AND

OTHER CONTAMINATION.

THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL DECREASE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION

AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION.

IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION, REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.

NOTE: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin include procedures given

in other documents or in other sections of the Service Bulletin. When the words

’refer to’ are used and the operator has a procedure accepted by the local authority

he belongs to, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words ’in

accordance with’ are used then the given procedure must be followed.

NOTE: The access and close-up instructions, not comprising return to service tests, in this

Service Bulletin do not constitute or affect the technical intent of the Service

Bulletin. Operators can therefore, as deemed necessary, omit or add access and/or

close-up steps to add flexibility to their maintenance operations as long as the

technical intent of the Service Bulletin is met within the set parameters.

NOTE: Manual titles given in the accomplishment instructions are referred to by acronyms.

Refer to paragraph 1.J., References, for the definition of acronyms.

NOTE: This Service Bulletin is classified mandatory or expected to be classified mandatory

to comply with the AD. Other paragraphs are recommended and may be deviated

from, done as part of other actions or done with accepted methods different from

those given in the Service Bulletin, as long as the RC paragraphs can be done and

the aircraft can be put back into a serviceable condition.

NOTE: The purpose of flow charts is to supplement the information given in the Procedure

and Compliance paragraphs and not to serve as the primary source for tasks or

compliance times given in this Service Bulletin.
