MAJOR 200358S19548

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

New standard W12 on Flight Control Primary Computer (FCPC) 2K2 hardware has been defined mainly

in order to prevent aircraft abnormal behavior in case of erratic Air Data/Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU)

outputs.

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A340/500-600 aircraft of the issue of

AIRBUS OPERATIONS S.A.S. Service Bulletin No. LA2K2-27-013.

This Service Bulletin recommends either replacing the existing FCPCs with hardware 2K2 by FCPCs

with hardware 2K2 and new standard W12, or modifying the existing FCPCs with hardware 2K2

into new standard W12 by means of On-Board Replaceable Modules (OBRMs) as per AIRBUS

OPERATIONS S.A.S. Service Bulletin No. LA2K2-27-013.

New software standard W12 on FCPC 2K2 hardware has been defined to take into account the last

FCPC software evolutions. The main FCPC improvements are:

- Improvement of aircraft behavior in case of erratic ADIRU outputs.

- Improvement of the Ground Spoiler (GS) and Partial Lift Damping (PLD) logics.

- Improvement of aircraft behavior in case of two consistently erroneous Angle Of Attack (AOA)

information: limitation of Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) at pitch up.

B. CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS

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

the following Service Bulletin(s) or the equivalent production modification(s):

Service Bulletin No. A340-27-5046 Mod. No. 57698S19460

58123S30546

C. REASON

(1) History

New standard W12 on Flight Control Primary Computer (FCPC) 2K2 hardware has been

defined mainly in order to prevent aircraft abnormal behavior in case of erratic Air

Data/Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) outputs.

(2) Objective/Action

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A340/500-600 aircraft of the

issue of AIRBUS OPERATIONS S.A.S. Service Bulletin No. LA2K2-27-013.

This Service Bulletin recommends either replacing the existing FCPCs with hardware

2K2 by FCPCs with hardware 2K2 and new standard W12, or modifying the

existing FCPCs with hardware 2K2 into new standard W12 by means of On-Board

Replaceable Modules (OBRMs) as per AIRBUS OPERATIONS S.A.S. Service Bulletin

No. LA2K2-27-013.

(3) Advantages

New software standard W12 on FCPC 2K2 hardware has been defined to take into

account the last FCPC software evolutions. The main FCPC improvements are:

- Improvement of aircraft behavior in case of erratic ADIRU outputs.

- Improvement of the Ground Spoiler (GS) and Partial Lift Damping (PLD) logics.

- Improvement of aircraft behavior in case of two consistently erroneous Angle Of

Attack (AOA) information: limitation of Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) at pitch

up.

- Increase of confirmation time in Side Stick Transducer Unit (SSTU) monitoring.

- Inhibition of the VMO/MMO protection in high lift.

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.
