MAJOR 13682D23322

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

The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) is supported and articulated at Frame 91. Any lateral

movement is prevented by four diagonal support struts.

During maintenance, support struts have been found cracked on some aircraft.

The affected area is the strut end and typical cracks are longitudinal. On some aircraft, several cracks

per support strut have been found.

Inspection Service Bulletin A300-53-6174 inspects the struts for cracks.

This Service Bulletin installs reinforcing clamps on the strut ends as a temporary solution. A permanent

solution is expected to be introduced by Service Bulletin at a later date.

By installing the clamp, the circumferential stresses in the rod-ends are reduced and the circular shape

of the rod end is supported.

As a result, the tendency to stress corrosion of the rod ends is stopped (or partially reduced) due to the

lower circumferential stresses.

Furthermore, the steel insert in the rod ends is properly kept in place due to maintaining the circular

shape of the rod ends even in case of existing cracks.

SUMMARY

Depending on the result of the check (aircraft record or physical check) required in inspection Service

SERVICE BULLETIN

C. REASON

(1) History

The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) is supported and articulated at Frame 91.

Any lateral movement is prevented by four diagonal support struts.

During maintenance, support struts have been found cracked on some aircraft.

The affected area is the strut end and typical cracks are longitudinal. On some aircraft,

several cracks per support strut have been found.

Inspection Service Bulletin A300-53-6174 inspects the struts for cracks.

(2) Objective/Action

This Service Bulletin installs reinforcing clamps on the strut ends as a temporary

solution. A permanent solution is expected to be introduced by Service Bulletin at a later

date.

(3) Advantages

By installing the clamp, the circumferential stresses in the rod-ends are reduced and the

circular shape of the rod end is supported.

As a result, the tendency to stress corrosion of the rod ends is stopped (or partially

reduced) due to the lower circumferential stresses.

Furthermore, the steel insert in the rod ends is properly kept in place due to maintaining

the circular shape of the rod ends even in case of existing cracks.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

Depending on the result of the check (aircraft record or physical check) required in

inspection Service Bulletin A300-53-6174, it is possible that clamps installation is not

required on one or some struts (mixture of clamp installation is possible).

D. DESCRIPTION

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

SERVICE BULLETIN

(2) Accomplishment Timescale

This Service Bulletin must be accomplished, when applicable, immediately after the first

inspection in accordance with the Inspection Service Bulletin A300-53-6174 requirement.

This Service Bulletin has been classified 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 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.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Task 536172-831-848-001 - Modification

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.

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.
