REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

During a full scale fatigue test there were crack findings at the butt joint at Frame 47 between stringer 5

and stringer 7 LH and RH side.

This Inspection Service Bulletin gives the instruction to do a rototest of the fastener/butt joint at Frame

47 between stringer 5 and stringer 7 LH and RH side.

In case of findings between STGR 5 and STGR 7, the inspection is extended to between STGR 7 LH to

STGR 7 RH.

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will contribute to ensure the structural integrity of the butt strap

joint.

The accomplishment of the Service Bulletin A320-53-1271 will cancel the inspection requirements of

this Service Bulletin.

SERVICE BULLETIN

C. REASON

(1) History

During a full scale fatigue test there were crack findings at the butt joint at Frame 47

between stringer 5 and stringer 7 LH and RH side.

(2) Objective/Action

This Inspection Service Bulletin gives the instruction to do a rototest of the fastener/butt

joint at Frame 47 between stringer 5 and stringer 7 LH and RH side.

In case of findings between STGR 5 and STGR 7, the inspection is extended to between

STGR 7 LH to STGR 7 RH.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will contribute to ensure the structural integrity of

the butt strap joint.

The accomplishment of the Service Bulletin A320-53-1271 will cancel the inspection

requirements of this Service Bulletin.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

None

D. DESCRIPTION

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

Task 531260-832-848-001: Inspection

(1) Remove the fasteners from Frame 47 between STGR 5 and STGR 7, LH and RH

(2) Inspection

(3) Install fasteners in the splice plate of the butt joint FR 47

E. COMPLIANCE

(1) Classification

RECOMMENDED: Service Bulletin recommended to be accomplished to prevent

significant operational disruptions.

SERVICE BULLETIN

This Service Bulletin has been classified Recommended. It is expected that an

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

will be issued to change this classification to Mandatory. It is anticipated that the AD will

confirm the (thresholds and/or intervals and/or date) given above but reference should

be made to the AD for confirmation of 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.

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.
