### TITLE: FUSELAGE - TAIL CONE - THS SUPPORT STRUTS AT FR91 - INSPECTION FOR CRACKS **CONF ALL MODIFICATIONS None REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) is supported and articulated at Frame (FR)91. Any lateral movement is prevented by four diagonal support struts. During routine maintenance done on several aircraft in this area, support struts have been found cracked. The affected area is the strut end and typical cracks are longitudinal. On some aircraft several cracks per support strut and support strut end have been found. This Service Bulletin gives the instruction to do a repetitive inspection of the affected area on all A300-600 aircraft, to prevent a support strut rupture. After the inspection (depending on aircraft records and general visual inspection results), it is necessary to install a clamping device which will ensure the rod body end insert is kept in place. This installation is temporary pending the definition of a new strut which will be introduced through another mandatory Modification Service Bulletin. The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will detect potential damage at the support strut end and limit the risk of THS lateral movement.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS Task 536174-832-848-001 - 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. 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. NOTE: The purpose of flow charts is to supplement the information given in the Procedure and Compliance paragraphs and not to serve as the primary source for tasks or compliance times given in this Service Bulletin.
