REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

A rupture of a MLG retraction actuator piston rod-end has occurre

in-service A330 aircraft. This resulted from internal corrosion a

circumferential cracking around the painted upper end of the pist

A longitudinal crack has also been found on the chromed part of a 

actuator piston-rod. Investigations indicate that the crack start

of corrosion pitting within the piston rod bore.

All Operator Telex. (AOT) No. A340-32A4211 was issued to request 

carry out an ultrasonic inspection of the retraction actuator pis

have been in service for more than six years.

This Service Bulletin has been issued to advise operators of the 

Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin No. A33/34-32-222. This Messier-Dow

Bulletin has been revised to modify the inspection procedures whi

a visual inspection of the chromed area of the piston rods for cr

draining of water or other fluids from the piston rods which coul

cause future cracks and the ultrasonic inspection of the inner su

piston rods for corrosion pitting and/or cracks of piston rods tha

service for three years or more.

This Service Bulletin supersedes AOT A340-32A4211.

The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin makes sure that the M

actuator rod has no cracks and is free of any internal corrosion 

could cause cracks.

Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin has been revised to mo

inspection procedures which now require a visual ins

chromed area of the piston rods for cracks, the drai
