REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A34

the issue of Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/34-32-223.

Fracture of the piston rod for the Main Landing Gear (MLG) retrac

has occurred on an in-service A330 aircraft, close to the spheric

Additionally another piston rod has fractured, due to a longitudin

failures are corrosion related.

The All Operator Telex (AOT) No.A340-32A4211 has been issued to r

operators to carry out an ultrasonic inspection of the piston rod 

retraction-actuator that have been in service for more than three 

is being followed up by the issue of Inspection Service Bulletin 

A340-32-4212 which covers the Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin A33/

Which additionally requests a detailed visual inspection.

This Service Bulletin introduces a MLG retraction-actuator which 

piston rod. This new design is only intended for interim use to al

demands, it will not be installed on production aircraft. It is on

be installed to prevent an AOG situation. The solid piston rod is 

to MPD Section 9-1. An improved design of hollow piston rod with 

standard of corrosion protection will be introduced to replace th

design through SB A340-32-4222. This Service Bulletin is supersed

A340-32-4222.

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will prevent a possible AO

when a MLG retraction-actuator fails the inspection requirements 

A340-32-4212 and there are no other spare pre-modification MLG

retraction-actuators available.

C. REASON

(1) History

Fracture of the piston rod for the Main Landing Gear 

retraction-actuator has occurred on an in-service A3

close to the spherical bearing. Additionally another 

fractured, due to a longitudinal crack. Both failures 

related.

The AOT No.A340-32A4211 has been issued to request o

carry out an ultrasonic inspection of the piston rod 

retraction-actuator that have been in service for mo

years. The AOT is being followed up by the issue of 

A340-32-4212 which covers the Messier-Dowty Service 

A33/34-32-222. Which additionally requests a detailed 

inspection.

(2) Objective/Action

This Service Bulletin introduces a MLG retraction-act

has a solid piston rod. This new design is only inte

interim use to alleviate supply demands, it will not 

on production aircraft. It is only intended to be in

prevent an AOG situation. The solid piston rod is li

MPD Section 9-1. An improved design of hollow piston 

higher standard of corrosion protection will be intro

replace the existing design through SB A340-32-4222. 

Bulletin is superseded by SB A340-32-4222.

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all ope

aircraft of the issue of Messier-Dowty Service Bullet

A33/34-32-223.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will prevent 

situation when a MLG retraction-actuator fails the i

requirements of ISB A340-32-4212 and there are no ot

pre-modification MLG retraction-actuators available.
