MAJOR 55696S18546

MINOR None

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

A new Flight Control Secondary Computer (FCSC) standard, named L20M19, was developed to take

into account the last FCSC software evolutions.

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A330 aircraft with mechanical rudder

(aircraft on which Mod. No. 49144S16279 (FLIGHT CONTROLS - ELECTRICAL FLIGHT CONTROL

SYSTEM (EFCS) - INSTALL RUDDER FLY-BY WIRE ON A330/A340) is not embodied) of the issue of

THALES AVIONICS Service Bulletin No. B492AAM-27-014.

This Service Bulletin recommends introduction of new software "L20M19" PN B492AAM0411 on the two

FCSCs by means of On-Board Replaceable Modules (OBRMs) replacement or reprogramming or

FCSCs replacement.

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces the following improvements :

- new elevator position monitoring,

- improvement of other computers monitoring,

- improvement of rate gyro units monitoring.

The "new elevator position monitoring" function, that will allow to cancel red Operation Engineering

Bulletin (OEB) No. 50, will be active at aircraft level only if FCSC L20M19 standard is associated

with future Flight Control Primary Computer (FCPC) standards. It is anticipated that an Airworthiness

Directive (AD) will mandate modification of both FCSC and FCPC.

Temporary Revision (TR) 4.02.00/25 if associated with future FCPC standards. Operators having

programmed an OEB reminder should delete the reminder(s) from their system.

Only in the case of these associations, the operational consequences of this Service Bulletin are the

modifications of the Flight Manual (FM).

B. CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin requires the prior or simultaneous accomplishment of

the following Service Bulletin or the equivalent production modification :

Service Bulletin No. A330-27-3060 Mod. No. 46344S14197

A330-27-3017 42983S12314

A330-27-3079 47587S14930

A330-27-3080 47735S14929

NOTE: Accomplish either Service Bulletin No. A330-27-3079 or A330-27-3080 as per

effectivity specified in these Service Bulletins.

C. REASON

(1) History

A new Flight Control Secondary Computer (FCSC) standard, named L20M19, was

developed to take into account the last FCSC software evolutions.

(2) Objective/Action

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A330 aircraft with

mechanical rudder (aircraft on which Mod. No. 49144S16279 (FLIGHT CONTROLS -

ELECTRICAL FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (EFCS) - INSTALL RUDDER FLY-BY WIRE

ON A330/A340) is not embodied) of the issue of THALES AVIONICS Service Bulletin

No. B492AAM-27-014.

This Service Bulletin recommends introduction of new software "L20M19" PN

B492AAM0411 on the two FCSCs by means of On-Board Replaceable Modules

(OBRMs) replacement or reprogramming or FCSCs replacement.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces the following improvements :

- new elevator position monitoring,

- improvement of other computers monitoring,

- improvement of rate gyro units monitoring.

SERVICE BULLETIN

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

The "new elevator position monitoring" function, that will allow to cancel red Operation

Engineering Bulletin (OEB) No. 50, will be active at aircraft level only if FCSC L20M19

standard is associated with future Flight Control Primary Computer (FCPC) standards. It

is anticipated that an Airworthiness Directive (AD) will mandate modification of both

FCSC and FCPC.

After AD issuance, this Service Bulletin will cancel red OEB No. 50 and Aircraft

Flight Manual (AFM) Temporary Revision (TR) 4.02.00/25 if associated with future

FCPC standards. Operators having programmed an OEB reminder should delete the

reminder(s) from their system.

Only in the case of these associations, the operational consequences of this Service

Bulletin are the modifications of the Flight Manual (FM).

NOTE: For a full improvements description, refer to Modification Operational

Impact (MOI) No. 55696.

D. DESCRIPTION

NOTE: To accomplish this Service Bulletin, you have two possibilities :

- either you modify the two FCSCs by replacement or reprogramming of

their OBRMs as described in SUBTASK 273145-831-001 001 Modify the

two FCSCs (FIN 3CE1 and 3CE2) in electronic panel 800VU and on shelf

915VU ,

- or you replace them as described in SUBTASK 273145-960-001 001

Replace the two FCSCs (FIN 3CE1 and 3CE2) in electronic panel 800VU

and on shelf 915VU .

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

Task 273145-831-801-001: MODIFICATION

(1) Modify the two FCSCs (FIN 3CE1 and 3CE2) in electronic panel 800VU and on shelf

915VU

(2) Replace the two FCSCs (FIN 3CE1 and 3CE2) in electronic panel 800VU and on

shelf 915VU

E. COMPLIANCE

(1) Classification

RECOMMENDED

(2) Accomplishment Timescale

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin is recommended at the earliest opportunity

where manpower and facilities are available.
