### TITLE: FUSELAGE - TAIL CONE - THS SUPPORT STRUTS AT FR91 - INSPECTION FOR CRACKS **CONF ALL MODIFICATIONS None REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) is supported and articulated at Frame (FR)91. Any lateral movement is prevented by four diagonal support struts. During routine maintenance done on several aircraft in this area, support struts have been found cracked. The affected area is the strut end and typical cracks are longitudinal. On some aircraft several cracks per support strut and support strut end have been found. This Service Bulletin gives the instruction to do a repetitive inspection of the affected area on all A300 aircraft, to prevent a support strut rupture. After the inspection (depending on aircraft records and general visual inspection results), it is necessary to install a clamping device which will ensure the rod body end insert is kept in place. This installation is temporary pending the definition of a new strut which will be introduced through another Mandatory Modification Service Bulletin. The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will detect potential damage at the support strut end and limit the risk of THS lateral movement.

This Service Bulletin has been classified Mandatory. It is expected that an Airworthiness Directive (AD) published by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will be issued to confirm this classification. It is anticipated that the AD will confirm the thresholds and intervals given above but reference should be made to the AD for confirmation of the mandated accomplishment timescale. F. APPROVAL The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of Design Organisation Approval No. EASA.21J.031. If an aircraft listed in the effectivity has a modification or repair embodied that is not of AIRBUS origin, and which affects the content of this Service Bulletin, the operator is responsible for obtaining approval by its airworthiness authority for any adaptation necessary before incorporation of the Service Bulletin. G. MANPOWER The manpower estimates given in this Service Bulletin are based on the direct labor cost to do the work. These estimates assume that the work will be done by experienced personnel, and may need to be revised upwards to suit operator’s circumstances. The estimates do not include the time to prepare, plan or inspect the work. Manufacture and procurement of parts and tools, drying times for paints, sealants, etc., and general administration work are also not included. For an explanation of the manhours and elapsed time, refer to the Gantt Chart given in Appendix 01 - Elapsed Time Assumptions . NOTE: The minimum manhours necessary to accomplish this Service Bulletin are those for the Inspection. Depending on the inspection result, additional manhours can apply.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS Task 530395-832-848-001 - Inspection WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES. 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. CAUTION: ONLY ONE SUPPORT STRUT MAY BE REMOVED AT ONE TIME. CAUTION: IF ALL SUPPORT STRUTS ARE TO BE REMOVED, TWO STRUTS P/N 98A27407568000 MUST BE INSTALLED, REFER TO AMM 53-22-14, Page Block 401. NOTE: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin refer to procedures included in other AIRBUS documents. When the words ’refer to’ are used and the operator has an accepted alternative procedure, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words ’in accordance with’ are included in the instruction, the procedure in the AIRBUS document must be used. 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 by an Airworthiness Directive (AD). The paragraphs 3.C. and 3.D. in these accomplishment instructions are Required for Compliance (RC) and must be done 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.
