ATTENTION: AIRBUS AIRCRAFT OPERATORS AND REPAIR STATIONS AIRCRAFT: AIRBUS A330-200/300, A340-200/300 AND A340-500/600 UNITS: MESSIER-DOWTY MAIN LANDING GEARS AND CENTER LANDING GEARS SUBJECT: MATERIAL PROPERTIES OUTSIDE OF SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS 1. REASON A. Messier-Dowty has found that producti on quality coupon testing has shown below specification material properties. B. This Service Letter tells operators that there will be a flight hour and/or landing and/or calendar life limitation reduction on main fitti ngs, bogie beams and sliding pistons which are identified in the Airbus Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS Part 1) and this Service Letter. C. This fatigue life limitation reduction applies because of a potential problem in the raw material of the main fittings, bogie beams and sliding pistons. 2. GENERAL A. Messier-Dowty tells you that on going investigations and additional fatigue testing should improve the reduced life limits of the main fittings, bogie beams and sliding pistons referenced in this Service Letter. 3. PROCEDURE A. Messier-Dowty tells you that if you have a main landing gear main fitting part number/serial number which appears in Appendix A Table 1 or 2: (1) in Section 1 the reduced life limitation for the part number/serial number will be in the ALS Part 1. (2) in Section 2 the part number/serial number are no longer part of the suspect population: refer to ALS Part 1 for the normal life limitation. NOTE : If the main landing gear main fitting part number/serial number does not appear in Appendix A, refer to ALS Part 1 for the normal life limitation. B. Messier-Dowty tells you that if you have a main landing gear bogie beam part number/serial number which appears in Appendix B: (1) in Section 1 the reduced life limitation for the part number/serial number will be in the ALS Part 1. (2) in Section 2 the part number/serial number are no longer part of the suspect population: refer to ALS Part 1 for the normal life limitation. NOTE : If the main landing gear bogie beam part number/serial number does not appear in Appendix B, refer to ALS Part 1 for the normal life limitation.

# SERVICE LETTER C. Messier-Dowty tells you that if you have a center landing gear main fitting part number/serial number which appears in Appendix C: (1) in Section 1 the reduced life limitation for the part number/serial number will be in the ALS Part 1 (2) in Section 2 the part number/serial number are no longer part of the suspect population, refer to ALS Part 1 for the normal life limitation. NOTE : If the center landing gear main fitting part number/serial number does not appear in Appendix C, refer to ALS Part 1 for the normal life limitation. D. Messier-Dowty tells you that if you have a main landing gear sliding piston part number/serial number which appears in Appendix D: (1) in Section 1 the reduced life limitation for the part number/serial number will be in the ALS Part 1. NOTE : If the main landing gear sliding piston part number/serial number does not appear in Appendix D, refer to ALS Part 1 for the normal life limitation. E. Messier-Dowty Ltd tells you thatif you have to replace a part listed in this Service Letter you must order the new part and also the associated consumable material part number. Refer to Appendix E for the detail of part numbers to be ordered. F. Messier-Dowty Ltd tells you that Appendix F of this Service Letter provides a pro-forma which must be used to record the removal and mutilation of unserviceable parts.

NOTE : Please refer to OIT SE 999.0012/07/LB Rev. 04 dated 05 May 08 and TFU Ref: 32.00.00.012, for information regarding (S2A), (S2B) and (S2C) in the above Table 1, Section 1. NOTE : All bogie part numbers 50-1217001-01 in the above list were delivered from Messier-Dowty prior to introduction of the -04 evolution. The lives for the specific parts detailed above is the same whether they are -01 or -04 parts. Retrospective embodiment of A34/56M-32-25 on these bogies by re-part numbering the bogie with part number 50-1217001-04, whilst retaining the same serial number, will allow operators to claim the revised -04 life, with no physical change. However, the component will still be subject to the same reduced life limitations due to having been manufactured from MTL1201 material suspected of having deficient fatigue properties. For these specific -01 parts therefore, the life is the same as for the affected -04 parts. NOTE : * Production part listed as quarantine or WIP - to be scrapped.
