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

Corrosion has been discovered on the lower drag stay arm when rust traces were noticed in the vicinity

of both ends of the lower arm lug bores. The discovery of one case prompted visual inspection of all

the other aircraft owned by the operator concerned.

Post drag stay removal, sealant has been reported damaged between the lug bore and the bearing

race, on disassembly pitting corrosion and rust traces have been reported on the internal surface of the

lug bore. To date eleven lower drag stay arms on A340-500/-600 aircraft have exhibited corrosion in the

upper and/or lower bores.

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

Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin No. A34/56N-32-113.

Due to the nature of the failure of the A340-500/-600 lower drag stay arm and the relatively widespread

occurrence of the corrosion throughout the A340-500/-600 fleet, a modification is required to eliminate

the root cause of the corrosion on Weight Variant (WV) 001, 002, 003 and 004 aircraft.

This Service Bulletin introduces a modification to the lower drag stay arm in order to prevent corrosion.

The 300M steel lower drag stay arm interface with the 17-4PH steel bearing race is modified in order to

prevent corrosion from developing at this joint. Four key aspects to the modification exist:

SERVICE BULLETIN

SUMMARY

- The thickness of the sealant bead applied externally is specified and increased in order to prevent

the ingress of contaminants

- The sealant applied between the lug and the race is changed from a fully polymerizing Nickel

containing compound to Molykote DX with Zinc (a part curing compound), this reduces the friction

in the joint helping to prevent cadmium damage caused by micro-displacements and removes the

Nickel present that can react with and deplete Cadmium leading to damage.

- The lug internal diameter tolerance is modified from 152H7 to 152G7.

- The thickness of the Cadmium in the bore is modified in order to ensure that the sacrificial

protection provided by the Cadmium is maximized.

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

A340-32-5099.

(1) REMOVE DRAG STAY LOWER ARM

(2) NLG DRAG STAY LOWER ARM MODIFICATION OR REPLACEMENT

(3) INSTALL DRAG STAY LOWER ARM

(4) NLG REIDENTIFICATION

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

Approved under EASA 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.
