MODIFICATIONS

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

The THALES Angle Of Attack (AOA) sensor Part Number (PN) C16291AA, basic standard fitted on SA

and LR aircraft, experience an ageing issue of the heating element, which means that after a given

number of Flight Hours (FH), the vane of the AOA sensor may not be able to de-ice properly in severe

icing conditions.

For aircraft on which one or more THALES PN C16291AA AOA sensors are installed, this Inspection

Service Bulletin mandates the periodic functional test of the heating of the AOA sensor and replacing

the AOA sensor if the test fails.

Accomplishment of this inspection Service Bulletin will allow the detection of any defective THALES PN

C16291AA AOA sensors , up to the embodiment of the terminating action.

The accomplishment of the Service Bulletin No. A340-34-5070 (Install THALES AOA sensors PN

C16291AB) cancels this inspection requirement and cancels the Maintenance Planning Document

(MPD) task 341300-02-2.

The Operational/Maintenance Consequences of this Service Bulletin are covered by the update of the

affected publications detailed in "PLANNING INFORMATION".

C. REASON

(1) History

The THALES Angle Of Attack (AOA) sensor Part Number (PN) C16291AA, basic

standard fitted on SA and LR aircraft, experience an ageing issue of the heating

element, which means that after a given number of Flight Hours (FH), the vane of the

AOA sensor may not be able to de-ice properly in severe icing conditions.

(2) Objective/Action

For aircraft on which one or more THALES PN C16291AA AOA sensors are installed,

this Inspection Service Bulletin mandates the periodic functional test of the heating of the

AOA sensor and replacing the AOA sensor if the test fails.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this inspection Service Bulletin will allow the detection of any

defective THALES PN C16291AA AOA sensors , up to the embodiment of the

terminating action.

The accomplishment of the Service Bulletin No. A340-34-5070 (Install THALES

AOA sensors PN C16291AB) cancels this inspection requirement and cancels the

Maintenance Planning Document (MPD) task 341300-02-2.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

The Operational/Maintenance Consequences of this Service Bulletin are covered by the

update of the affected publications detailed in "PLANNING INFORMATION".

D. DESCRIPTION

NOTE: To accomplish the repair of the affected AOA sensor(s) you have two

possibilities :

- either you replace them as per AMM Task 34-11-19-000-801 and AMM

Task 34-11-19-400-801 in accordance with SUBTASK 345062-960-001

001 OPTION 1 - Replace the Affected AOA Sensor(s) ,

- or you replace them as per Service Bulletin in accordance with SUBTASK

345062-960-002 001 OPTION 2 - Replace the Affected AOA Sensors by

Another PN as Terminating Action .

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

Task 345062-832-801-001: Inspection

(1) Do a Detailed Inspection of the Three AOA Sensors (FINs 3FP1, 3FP2 and 3FP3).

Action

E. COMPLIANCE

(1) Classification

MANDATORY: Service Bulletin must be accomplished.

(2) Accomplishment Timescale

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.

Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin must be done before 17,000 Flight

Hours (FH), since the aircraft first flight.

Repeat the inspection of each THALES AOA sensor PN C16291AA at interval not

exceeding 3,800 FH.

NOTE: The accomplishment of the Service Bulletin No. A340-34-5070 as

terminating action cancels this inspection.

F. APPROVAL

The technical content of this document is 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.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Task 345062-832-801-001 - Inspection

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.

IN THERE IS OF 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.
