MODIFICATION CLASSIFICATION

MAJOR 52980H15418

MINOR 54648H15734

NOTE: As per EASA IR 21, a minor change is one that has no appreciable effect on the

mass, balance, structural strength, reliability, operational characteristics affecting the

airworthiness of the product. All other changes are major changes.

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

Two fractures of the piston rod for the MLG retraction-actuator have occurred on an in-service A330

aircraft, close to the spherical bearing. Additionally another piston rod has fractured, due to a

longitudinal crack. Both failures are corrosion related.

In addition, two fatigue test failures occurred on an A340-600 piston rod, one occurred at the lug net

tension area originating from the chrome plating run-out. The other failure was caused by the absence

of shot peening resulting in machining marks remaining in the bore.

The mandatory ISB No. A340-32-4212 was issued to do an ultrasonic NDT and detailed visual

inspection of the MLG retraction-actuator piston rod.

Service Bulletin No. A340-32-4213 (Mod No. 52424H15395) was also issued to introduce a MLG

retraction-actuator which had a solid piston rod. This new design was only intended for interim use to

alleviate supply demands. It was only intended to be installed to prevent an AOG situation.

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A340 aircraft of the issue of Messier-Dowty

Service Bulletin No. A33/34-32-227.

This Service Bulletin introduces a new MLG retraction-actuator which has a re-designed piston rod. The

new re-designed piston rod has the following changes:

SERVICE BULLETIN

SUMMARY

- an increased radial wall thickness

- revised internal bore configuration

- safety vent hole removed

- new rod screwed plug which now includes a safety vent hole.

NOTE: Retraction actuators P/N 114256004-005 (post production modification) and P/N

114256004-000 (post retrofit modification) are fully two-way interchangeable with each

other (as they are effectively the same LRU identified differently).

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin cancels the mandatory inspection requirements of Inspection

Service Bulletin No. A340-32-4212.

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces a new piston rod. The new piston rod has a higher

fatigue life limit than the part number presently defined in the Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS)

Part 1.

C. REASON

(1) History

Two fractures of the piston rod for the MLG retraction-actuator have occurred on an inservice A330 aircraft, close to the spherical bearing. Additionally another piston rod has

fractured, due to a longitudinal crack. Both failures are corrosion related.

In addition, two fatigue test failures occurred on an A340-600 piston rod, one occurred at

the lug net tension area originating from the chrome plating run-out. The other failure

was caused by the absence of shot peening resulting in machining marks remaining in

the bore.

The mandatory ISB No. A340-32-4212 was issued to do an ultrasonic NDT and detailed

visual inspection of the MLG retraction-actuator piston rod.

Service Bulletin No. A340-32-4213 (Mod No. 52424H15395) was also issued to

introduce a MLG retraction-actuator which had a solid piston rod. This new design was

only intended for interim use to alleviate supply demands. It was only intended to be

installed to prevent an AOG situation.

(2) Objective/Action

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A340 aircraft of the issue of

Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin No. A33/34-32-227.

This Service Bulletin introduces a new MLG retraction-actuator which has a re-designed

piston rod. The new re-designed piston rod has the following changes:

- an increased radial wall thickness

SERVICE BULLETIN

- revised internal bore configuration

- safety vent hole removed

- new rod screwed plug which now includes a safety vent hole.

NOTE: Retraction actuators P/N 114256004-005 (post production modification)

and P/N 114256004-000 (post retrofit modification) are fully two-way

interchangeable with each other (as they are effectively the same LRU

identified differently).

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin cancels the mandatory inspection requirements

of Inspection Service Bulletin No. A340-32-4212.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces a new piston rod. The new piston rod

has a higher fatigue life limit than the part number presently defined in the Airworthiness

Limitation Section (ALS) Part 1.

D. DESCRIPTION

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

E. COMPLIANCE

(1) Classification

MANDATORY: Service Bulletin must be accomplished.

(2) Accomplishment Timescale

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin has been rendered mandatory by the issue of an

Airworthiness Directive (AD) published by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

The AD must be used as the reference document for the mandatory accomplishment

timescale.

F. APPROVAL

The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of Design

Organization 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.

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.

IN CASE OF CONTAMINATION, REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.
