Sub-part 4-0 INTRODUCTION

1. GENERAL

The data provided under Part 4 has been established with the following rules: 

Compliance with the requirements contained in this document is mandatory. No 

person may operate an aircraft to which an Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) 

applies except in accordance with the requirements of that ALS, unless otherwise 

agreed with the Authority of the State of aircraft registry. 

Consultation with the State of design should be made by the State of aircraft registry, 

in consideration of any deviation from the ALS requirements. This is indicated in the 

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Airworthiness manual (Doc. 9760), 

Volume II, Part A, Chapter 3. 

The procedures contained therein (ALS) must be taken into account when 

considering any variation requests. 

A. ALS Part 4 applicability 

The applicability of this ALS Part 4 revision is restricted to the aircraft series, models 

and Weight Variants (WV) listed in the table below:

B. Ageing Systems Maintenance (ASM) 

Airbus’ definition of Ageing Systems Maintenance (ASM) primarily refers to 

preventative maintenance requirements (including replacements) and associated 

airworthiness limitations within the relevant aircraft systems operational life, applicable 

to aircraft systems susceptible to ageing effects. Such ageing effects could change the 

characteristics leading to an increased potential for failure, which in isolation or in 

combination with one or more other specific failures or events, could result in an unsafe 

condition of the aircraft. 

Failure-finding checks (addressing similar unsafe conditions) with airworthiness 

limitations within the relevant aircraft systems operational life will also be included to 

complement the mandatory preventative maintenance requirements (refer also to ALS 

sub-part 4-0, paragraph 1.D.). 

This Part 4 of the ALS has been created to contain the maintenance requirements and 

their associated airworthiness limitations to help to qualify the systems installations for 

continued operation up to the Limit Of Validity (LOV) shown hereafter. 

Note: Items listed in this ALS Part 4 may originate from: 

− Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) chapter 05 Service Life Limits and 

Maintenance Checks (SLMC) section 05-11-00 Service Life Limits, 

subsequently transferred into the A330 ALS Part 1. 

− Life extension study (Change in LOV). 

− Continued Airworthiness (operational safety) issues (in-service experience). 

All the maintenance requirements and associated airworthiness limitations indicated in 

this document were defined by a process agreed between AIRBUS and the EASA. 

The publication of this document precludes the necessity to publish individual 

Airworthiness Directives (AD) for each listed item and its requirements. 

C. Limit Of Validity (LOV) 

Operation of aircraft systems up to the stated Limit Of Validity (in Flight Hours or Flight 

Cycles, whichever occurs first) is covered by this document. The relevant LOV values 

are stated below. The aircraft systems must not be operated beyond these values 

unless the Type Certificate Holder (i.e. Airbus) has updated this document to include a 

clearly defined LOV extension.

Note: The parts included in the retraction actuator chains are not subject to the 

ground loads. Therefore, the life limitations for the related Part NumbeR 

(PNR) may exceed the stated LOV as a result of a fatigue test carried out for 

another aircraft application having a greater LOV. 

The list of the approved weight variants is provided in the Type Certification Data Sheet 

(TCDS) N°A.004 issued by the EASA, together with the associated modification 

configuration(s). 

To determine the applicable WV at the time of aircraft delivery, refer to the list of 

modifications embodied during production, provided to the initial Operator of the 

aircraft, in the delivery documentation (Aircraft Inspection Report ‘Conformity to Design 

Standard Requirements’). 

A WV status may evolve as a result of the embodiment of Airbus SB. 

It is the Operators’ responsibility to identify the applicable aircraft WV and to refer to the 

appropriate airworthiness limitation(s) given in this ALS Part 4.

Note 2: Multiple operation weight configurations are summarised below: 

− Airworthiness limitations applicable to A330-243 WV020 also apply to 

aircraft POST MOD 50302 (A330-200 series with dual MTOW 230/192 

tons). 

− Airworthiness limitations applicable to A330-243 WV022 also apply to 

aircraft POST MOD 50830 or POST SB A330-00-3027 (A330-200 series 

with triple MTOW 233/230/220 tons). 

− Airworthiness limitations applicable to A330-302 WV050 also apply to 

aircraft POST MOD 52910 (A330-300 series with dual MTOW 230/205 

tons). 

− Airworthiness limitations applicable to A330-202 WV050 also apply to 

aircraft POST MOD 53108 (A330-200 series with dual MTOW 230/210 

tons). 

− Airworthiness limitations applicable to A330-203 WV052 also apply to 

aircraft POST MOD 54105 (A330-200 series with triple MTOW 

233/230/192 tons). 

− Airworthiness limitations applicable to A330-243 WV020 also apply to 

aircraft POST MOD 54518 or POST SB A330-00-3044 (A330-200 series 

with quadruple MTOW 230/220/202/192 tons). 

− Airworthiness limitations applicable to A330-202 WV052 also apply to 

aircraft POST MOD 57441 (A330-200 series with quadruple MTOW 

233/220/202/192 tons). 

D. ALS Part 3 and ALS Part 4 correlation 

At time of original Type Certification, an appraisal of aircraft systems is carried out 

within the frame of the Systems Safety Assessments. This may identify a need to 

schedule repetitive maintenance tasks within a defined interval so as to maintain the 

required safety objectives for individual failure conditions. A subset of these tasks, the 

majority of which detect latent failures, are identified as Certification Maintenance 

Requirements (CMR). These constitute operational limitations and are mandated 

through their location in the ALS Part 3. 

Should additional repetitive maintenance tasks of this nature be necessary within the 

applicable LOV, they will be included in the ALS Part 4. 

E. Sub-part 4-2: SYSTEMS LIFE LIMITED COMPONENTS 

Sub-part 4-2 is approved by the EASA. 

Components/items listed under this sub-part are those affected by a replacement 

requirement associated to a life limitation less than or equal to the applicable LOV, due 

to the difficulty to define a continued/enhanced inspection program, and whose failure 

could contribute to an unsafe condition of the aircraft. 

For a given PNR, when more than one set of limitation (FH/FC/Cal) is published for the 

same application, it is the Operator/MRO’s responsibility to select the appropriate set 

depending on the aircraft utilisation. Combining the limitations from different sets is not 

permitted.

limitation without failure but whose failure could result in an unsafe condition of the 

aircraft. 

Where the values are less than the LOV, tests are still on going. For these 

components/items, the life limitation provided is temporary, waiting for finalization of the 

tests. If the demonstrated life reaches the LOV, it will remain in sub-part 4-2-2. If the 

component/item fails before the LOV, its part number together with the life limit(s) will 

be transferred to sub-part 4-2-1. 

F. Sub-part 4-3: SYSTEMS INSTALLATIONS MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 

Sub-part 4-3 is approved by the EASA. 

The continued/enhanced inspection program given in this sub-part includes 

airworthiness limitations less than or equal to the applicable LOV to prevent aircraft 

systems failures, which could contribute to an unsafe condition of the aircraft. These 

airworthiness limitations are determined in consideration of the probability of an aircraft 

system level failure condition or conditions. 

Note: Credit may be taken for accomplishment of the Maintenance Review Board 

Report (MRBR) Systems and Powerplant section maintenance tasks, providing 

that they are performed with the same inspection level, at least as frequently as 

the inspection threshold and interval quoted in this document. 

Sub-parts 4-3-1 and 4-3-2 give maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations 

at component level and aircraft (system) level respectively. 

Sub-part 4-3-1: Controlled at component/sub-assembly level

This sub-part identifies tasks controlled at item level. The recurrent maintenance 

requirements are applicable no later than the item, not the aircraft, reaching the 

airworthiness limitation. 

When items given in sub-part 4-3-1 reach the stated airworthiness limitations, the given 

task must be carried out. Any item removed from the aircraft for any reason, (such as 

failure of functional check, degradation of condition, etc) must be replaced by a 

serviceable item, which has not reached the stated airworthiness limitations. 

Sub-part 4-3-2: Controlled at aircraft system level

This sub-part identifies tasks at aircraft level. The recurrent maintenance requirements 

are applicable no later than the aircraft, not the item, reaching the airworthiness 

limitation.

A330

The tasks listed in sub-part 4-3-2 must be carried out when the aircraft reaches the 

stated airworthiness limitation. Should a failure to reach the task requirements be 

detected, the appropriate trouble-shooting must be carried out and the relevant 

suspected items replaced in accordance with the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) 

procedures. Following any replacements, the listed tasks must be repeated until a 

successful task recording can be entered. 

G. Traceability and replacement/maintenance requirements 

In order to maintain aircraft airworthiness, it is mandatory to replace 

components/items listed under sub-part 4-2 at or prior to whichever of the life 

limitations occurs first, after any necessary adjustment of the stated life 

limitations. 

It is also mandatory to perform/repeat the maintenance requirements listed in 

sub-part 4-3 at or prior to whichever of the limitations threshold/interval occurs 

first, after any necessary adjustment of the stated airworthiness limitations. 

Airworthiness limitations (including life limitations) must be adjusted as 

necessary in accordance with the instructions of paragraph 1.H. of this ALS subpart 4-0.

Therefore, it is necessary to assure traceability and monitoring of the 

components/items listed in the sub-parts 4-2 and 4-3-1. 

Non-compliance with these requirements could suspend the validity of the 

Certificate of Airworthiness. 

For a given component/item of the sub-parts 4-2 and 4-3-1, new PNRs may be 

introduced in the future. These new PNRs may not be listed in the sub-parts 4-2 and/or 

4-3-1 of the current revision of the ALS Part 4. 

However, it is recommended to maintain traceability and monitoring of such 

components/items whatever their PNR in case of future introduction in the ALS 

Part 4. 

For further guidance, Operators are requested to contact Airbus. 

Note 1: In the context of the ALS Part 4, traceability means records that clearly 

demonstrate the history of components/items back to initial entry into service, 

so that airworthiness limitations are accurately applied. Traceability records 

may comprise, but are not limited to, the following: 

− Application history (aircraft type, model, WV, MSN i.e. Manufacturer Serial 

Number, etc...), 

− Maintenance actions carried out (Airworthiness Directives, modifications, 

repairs, inspections, etc...), 

− Life accumulation (accounting for any individual aircraft to which a 

component/an item may have been fitted).

A330

Note 2: Where the complete life history of a component/an item is not known, 

Operators are requested to refer to the applicable SIL for guidance. Such SIL 

provide the means to manage such components/items. They have been 

issued in agreement with the EASA. 

H. Transfers of components/items between applications having different airworthiness 

limitations 

In case of component/item transfers between applications (aircraft types, aircraft 

models, etc...) with different airworthiness limitations (including LOV), the remaining life 

for operation must be defined by the use of the following formula: 

with: 

Tri = remaining life for operation on current application i. 

Caj = accumulated life on previous application j. 

Cpj = airworthiness limitation in previous application j. 

Cpi = airworthiness limitation in present application i. 

Note 1: When using the above formula Tri, Caj, Cpj, Cpi are expressed in the same 

usage parameters (FH or FC or LDG): Usage parameters cannot be mixed in 

the same calculation. 

Note 2: The remaining life calculation must be reassessed every time the 

component’s/item’s airworthiness limitations evolve for current and/or previous 

aircraft application(s) to which the component/item is/was fitted. 

I. Disposal/quarantine action 

When the components/items listed in the sub-parts 4-2 and/or 4-3-1 reach the life 

limitations and/or the LOV, disposal/quarantine action must be taken: Appropriate 

means must be implemented to deter their installation on aircraft pending possible 

extension of the life limitations and/or LOV. Examples of these means are: 

− Record keeping system, 

− Non-permanent markings, 

− Segregation (items stored separately from those currently eligible for installation). 

The ultimate solution is the mutilation beyond repair limits to prevent rework to appear 

to be airworthy.

J. Reporting 

The ICAO Airworthiness manual (Doc. 9760), Volume II, Part B, Chapter 2 indicates: 

The concept of Continuing Airworthiness includes the reporting of defects and 

other significant maintenance and operational information by the Operator to the 

organisation responsible for the Type Design in accordance with the 

requirements of the State of aircraft registry. 

Any damage (e.g. fatigue cracks, wear, corrosion, etc...) on systems affected by the 

ALS Part 4 must be reported to Airbus. 

The finding report should include at least the information stated below: 

− ASM maintenance requirement reference, 

− Aircraft MSN affected, 

− Identification of the affected component/item, 

− Life since new (in Flight Hours and/or Flight Cycles and/or landings and/or 

calendar time, as applicable) accumulated by the affected system/component/item 

at the time of the finding, 

− Location and description of the finding, with indication of the size and orientation, 

− Circumstance of detection and inspection method used. 

K. ALS Part 4 airworthiness limitations 

Airworthiness limitations quoted in the ALS Part 4 are applicable to the undamaged 

and unrepaired aircraft systems and components/items. They may need to be adapted 

in case of damage/repair. 

L. Production/Repair concessions and Alternative Methods Of Compliance 

Airworthiness limitations of the ALS sub-parts 4-2 and 4-3 may be negated by 

instructions given in either a Production or Repair concession, or an Alternative Method 

Of Compliance (AMOC). 

It is Operator’s responsibility to refer to the applicable limitations. 

Production concessions are provided to the initial Operator of the aircraft in the delivery 

documentation (Aircraft Inspection Report: ‘Recordable concessions’). 

When airworthiness limitations evolve in a revision of the ALS Part 4 subsequent to the 

issuance date of the Production or Repair concession/AMOC, Operators are requested 

to contact Airbus for guidance. 

The restrictions of airworthiness limitation(s) indicated in the repair file/AMOC (or 

absence thereof) depend on the component’s/item’s accumulated life considered 

during the original evaluation of the repair solution/AMOC. Occasionally, repair 

solutions/AMOC are evaluated on the basis of an accumulated life that includes a 

conservative life calculation (refer to the applicable Service Information Letter). Such 

AMOC/repair solutions MUST be re-evaluated by Airbus before Operators can take

A330

credit of the history partially or completely rebuilt after application for the repair 

solution/AMOC. 

Note: For spares, restrictions of airworthiness limitation(s), if any, are indicated in EASA 

Form 1 block 13 (directly or by reference to another document). 

M. Modifications/Repairs not developed under Airbus DOA Certificate EASA.21J.031 

If an aircraft/a sub-assembly/a component/an item has a modification or repair 

embodied that has not been developed under the Design Organisation Approval (DOA) 

Certificate EASA.21J.031 (e.g. under a Supplemental Type Certificate) and which 

affects the content of the ALS Part 4, the Operator is responsible for obtaining approval 

by the relevant Airworthiness Authority for any necessary adaptations of the 

airworthiness limitations. 

When such an aircraft/a sub-assembly/a component/an item is transferred from one 

Owner/Operator to another, the associated approvals and documents indicating the 

necessary adaptations of airworthiness limitations must be transferred as well. 

2. DEFINITIONS

The initial entry into service is defined for the aircraft (systems installations) as: 

− The date of Transfer of Title to the first Operator for airworthiness limitations in 

Calendar times, unless otherwise stated in any delivery documentation to the first 

Operator. 

− The date of aircraft first flight for airworthiness limitations in flight hours and/or flight 

cycles and/or landings. 

The initial entry into service for the transferable systems components/items is defined as 

the date at which the component/item accomplishes the first flight for which it will undertake 

its intended function. 

Note: Unless otherwise stated, this means for transferable components/items delivered on 

new aircraft (i.e. from Airbus Final Assembly Line) that the life accumulated between 

aircraft first flight and the aircraft delivery date/transfer of title date (e.g. as a result of 

test flights) must be taken into account. 

Calendar times (Cal.): Airworthiness limitations in Years (Ye), Months (Mo), 

etc... must be counted from the date of initial entry into 

service (unless otherwise stated). In considering the 

accumulated time since the initial entry into service, it 

should be noted that Calendar time usage parameter 

cannot be frozen (unless stated for individual 

components/items). 

Exceptional Short Term Extension: An extension in an ASM airworthiness limitation that 

may be needed to cover an uncontrollable or 

exceptional unexpected situation. 
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION 

ISSUE: DEC 16/09 ALS PART 4-0 PAGE: 11 

© AIRBUS SAS 2009. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 

A330

Flight Cycle (FC): A complete takeoff and landing sequence. 

Flight Hour (FH): The accumulated time intervals between “wheels-off” 

and “wheels-on”. 

Functional Check: A quantitative check to determine if an item performs 

one or more of its functions within specified limits. 

Interval: The period expressed in usage parameters like FH 

and/or FC and/or LanDinGs and/or Calendar time 

between consecutive accomplishments of a specific 

task, excluding any exceptional short-term extensions 

from calculations. 

Landing (LDG): An operation of an aircraft touching the runway and 

coming to a complete stop or performing a “touch and 

go”. 

Limit of Validity (LOV): The LOV, as stated in the ALS Part 4, is the time at 

which the maintenance programme defined in that Part 

ceases to be valid. The applicable LOV are indicated in 

the sub-part 4-0, paragraph 1.C. 

Operational Check: A qualitative check to determine that an item is fulfilling 

its intended purpose. It is a failure-finding task and 

does not require quantitative tolerances. 

Threshold: The initial accomplishment of a specific maintenance 

task from the initial entry into service. It may be 

expressed in usage parameters like FH and/or FC 

and/or LDG and/or Calendar time. 

Touch and go: A landing in which an aircraft touches the runway and 

does not come to a full stop prior to commencing an 

additional flight. 

In the sub-part 4-3, touch and go cycles can be 

neglected if they are less than 5% of the total number 

of FC up to threshold inspection or between two 

consecutive inspections. Each “Touch and go” above 

5% is to be counted as one FC/LDG, up to threshold 

inspection or between two consecutive inspections. 

3. RULES SPECIFIC TO SUB-PART 4-2

A. Authorised systems components/items 

ALS sub-part 4-2 tables provide the applicable life limitations only for systems 

components/items that have been authorised. These tables do not ensure that a PNR 

has been validated for a specific individual aircraft MSN. 
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION 

ISSUE: DEC 16/09 ALS PART 4-0 PAGE: 12

A330

PNR are authorised for installation on individual aircraft MSN by SB (and the 

associated modifications), which are published by Airbus. 

PNR provided by sub-parts 4-2-1 and 4-2-2 for ATA 32 items relate to detail parts. 

They may not all be listed in Illustrated Parts Catalogue issued by Airbus. This is the 

case, for example, when the procurable replacement part is delivered as an assembly. 

Messier-Dowty SB have been/will be issued to provide information on procurable 

replacement PNR, detail PNR and applicable SB: 

− Messier-Dowty Ltd Service Bulletin number: 

− A33/34-32-85 (main landing gear PRE MOD 43029 – ‘basic’), 

− A33/34-32-88 (main landing gear POST MOD 43029 – ‘growth’ or POST MOD 

47487 – ‘growth scallop’), 

− A33/34-32-258 (main landing gear POST MOD 54500 – ‘enhanced’). 

− Messier-Dowty SA Service Bulletin number: 

− D23285-32-040 (nose landing gear). 

Detail parts are listed in the relevant Component Maintenance Manuals. The MessierDowty SB listed above provides the procurable replacement Part Numbers. 

B. Life limitation/Replacement time indication 

(1) General 

The life limitation indicated against PNR originally fitted is counted from the 

component’s/item’s initial entry into service. 

The life limitation indicated against PNR evolutions is also to be counted 

from the component’s/item’s initial entry into service (unless otherwise 

stated). 

Note: Where component/item history is unknown/partially unknown, refer to Note 2 

paragraph 1.G. 

In computing components’/items’ life, calculations must include flight hours 

and/or flight cycles and/or landings and/or Calendar time (as applicable) 

since the initial entry into service of the component/item (unless otherwise 

stated). 

(2) ALS sub-part 4-2 life limitations 

The life limitation/replacement time indication is quoted on the same line/block of 

lines as the PNR.

excl. XXX stands for: For all aircraft (defined by the applicability of the 

column), excluding MSN XXX. 

4. RULES SPECIFIC TO SUB-PART 4-3

A. Airworthiness limitations 

(1) General 

In computing the life accumulated by the aircraft systems/components/items, 

calculations must include flight hours and/or flight cycles and/or landings 

and/or calendar time (as applicable) since the initial entry into service 

(unless otherwise stated). 

(2) ALS sub-part 4-3 airworthiness limitations 

The limitations must be applied from: 

− The initial entry into service, for the threshold and the LOV, and 
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION

A330

− The original due date of the last accomplishment of the task, excluding any 

exceptional short-term extensions from calculations, for the interval. When 

alternative inspection methods are provided, the next interval applicable is the 

one associated with the inspection method used at last inspection. 

B. ALS sub-part 4-3 layout. 

The maintenance requirements and associated airworthiness limitations are presented 

in the ALS sub-part 4-3 in accordance with the following method: 

(1) Task Number 

The task numbering system follows a similar format to the Maintenance Planning 

Document (MPD) system, as follows: 

Each task is identified by a specific task number. When a task applies to two 

specific main zones located symmetrically to either side of the aircraft centreline, 

the task is assigned a single task number, but both LH and RH zones are indicated 

in "Zone" column. 

The task number comprises 13 digits organised as follows: 

XXXXXX-MEFYY-Z-E 

XXXXXX is ATA 100 task reference. 

M is the selection methodologies used. It will always be “0”. 

E is engine/APU/... manufacturer identification (where applicable, “0” 

is default value). 

F is engine/APU type information when more than one engine from 

the same manufacturer is applicable to the program (where 

applicable, “0” is default value). 

YY is sequential number. 

Z is for technical solution applicable to the same task requirement. 

E is “E” and stands for ASM (i.e. task related to an ageing systems 

function or Enhanced maintenance requirement). 

(2) Zone column 

The zone column defines where the major part of the maintenance task 

requirement is to be carried out on the aircraft. 

(3) Description column 

This column provides the following information: 

(a) Task Description. 

Contains basic description of the maintenance task to be performed. 

(b) Note. 

Where given, it states further requirements and/or provides useful information. 
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION 

ISSUE: DEC 16/09 ALS PART 4-0 PAGE: 15 

© AIRBUS SAS 2009. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 

A330

(4) Threshold/Interval columns 

These columns are used to record the selected threshold and interval for the task. 

The threshold and interval may be expressed in terms of usage parameters or 

notes. 

Usage parameters are defined in the paragraph 2 of this sub-part. 

(5) Reference column 

This column provides reference to Instructions for Continued Airworthiness where 

maintenance practices/procedures necessary for the task accomplishment are 

provided, e.g. the AMM. 

Where reference is made to an Airbus SB, it must be assumed that the latest 

approved revision of the SB is applicable, but any previous revision is acceptable. 

Where a particular revision is stated, the revision or any later approved revision 

must be used. 

(6) Limitations applicability columns 

These columns give the combination of component(s)/item(s) PNR and aircraft that 

requires the accomplishment of the task. 

(a) PNR 

ALS sub-part 4-3 tables provide the applicable airworthiness limitations only 

for systems installations that have been authorised. These tables do not 

ensure that a PNR has been validated for a specific individual aircraft MSN. 

PNR are authorised for installation on individual aircraft MSN by SBs (and the 

associated modifications), which are published by Airbus.

RR All aircraft equipped with RR Trent 700 engines. 

C. Exceptional short-term extensions for items listed in sub-part 4-3. 

Since ALS sub-part 4-3 intervals are based on statistical averages and reliability rates, 

an exceptional short-term extension for a specific ALS sub-part 4-3 interval may be 

made on one aircraft for a limited period of time without compromising the safety 

objectives declared at Type Certification. 

Repeated use of such extensions, either on the same aircraft or on similar 

aircraft in the Operator's fleet, should not be used as a substitute for good 

management practices. Short-term extensions must not be used for fleet ASM 

escalation.

Unless noted adjacent to the airworthiness limitation, for all airworthiness limitations 

identified in the ALS sub-part 4-3, it has been accepted by the Primary Certification 

Authority (EASA) that short-term extensions up to the following maximum values may 

be granted without consultation with that office. 

(1) Controlled by Flight Hours (FH) 

Extensions up to 10% or 500 FH (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be 

granted on ASM airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of Flight Hours. 
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION

© AIRBUS SAS 2009. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 

A330

(2) Controlled by Flight Cycles or LanDinGs (FC or LDG) 

Extensions up to 5% or 250 FC/LDG (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally 

be granted on ASM airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of Flight Cycles or 

LanDinGs. 

(3) Controlled by Calendar Time (Ye, Mo, etc...) 

Where the repeat interval is 12 Months or less, extensions up to 10% or 1 month 

(whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on ASM airworthiness 

limitations quoted in terms of Months. 

Where the repeat interval is greater than 12 Months, extensions up to 2 Months 

may exceptionally be granted. 

It is the Operator’s responsibility to identify appropriate procedures with the Authority of 

the State of aircraft registry for the control and development of his maintenance 

programme. 

Note: No short-term extensions are permissible for tasks previously required by 

individual ADs. These items will by highlighted by a note in the task description 

column.

1- GENERAL

− A330 ALS Part 4 revision 00: 

The A330 ALS Part 4 revision 00 was primarily dedicated to transfer the retraction actuator 

chain components from the A330 ALS Part 1 into this document. It was also the opportunity 

to include the requirements of the following Airworthiness Directives (AD): 

− French DGAC Consigne de Navigabilité (CN) 2001-530(B), and 

− French DGAC CN 2001-545(B)R1, and 

− French DGAC CN F-2002-414(B)R3, and 

− French DGAC CN F-2003-140(B)R1, and 

− European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2006-0159, and 

− EASA AD 2007-0309, and 

− EASA AD 2008-0026. 

− A330 ALS Part 4 revision 01: 

The revision 01 of the A330 ALS Part 4 has been issued to extend the WV054 applicability 

to all A330-200 series aircraft. The requirements of the EASA AD 2001-518(B) have been 

included and some task applicabilities have been corrected in the A330 ALS Part 4 revision 

01. 

− A330 ALS Part 4 revision 02: 

The A330 ALS Part 4 Revision 02 has been primarily produced to introduce new limitations 

into ALS Parts 4-2 and 4-3 resulting from the Intermediate Service Goal (ISG) activities 

(Mod 58269) which are applicable only to A330-301 Weight Variants 000 and 010. It was 

also the opportunity to include the requirements of the EASA AD 2009-0138.
