REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

The bogie pivot pin makes the connection between the landing gear slider and the bogie beam. This

component is a Principal Structural Element (PSE).

In-service feed-backs indicate an increasing number of bogie pivot pin replacements due to unexpected

findings upon removal. Operators report a high number of events related to chrome detachment or

chrome dragging. There have been a number of confirmed crackings of the bogie pivot pins since Entry

Into Service (EIS).

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A340 aircraft of the issue of Messier-Dowty

Service Bulletin No. A33/34-32-285.

VSB A33/34-32-285 details:

- Detailed Visual Inspections (DVI) of the bogie pivot pin chromium-plated surface

- Magnetic Particle Inspections (MPI) of the bogie pivot pin if damage is found to the chromiumplated surface

- DVI’s of the pivot pin bushes in the bogie beam and sliding tube.

These inspections will:

- make sure that all damaged bogie pivot pins are repaired or replaced if found damaged

- gather detailed information from the fleet to further investigate this issue.

beam. This component is a Principal Structural Element (PSE).

In-service feed-backs indicate an increasing number of bogie pivot pin replacements due

to unexpected findings upon removal. Operators report a high number of events related

to chrome detachment or chrome dragging. There have been a number of confirmed

crackings of the bogie pivot pins since Entry Into Service (EIS).

(2) Objective/Action

This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A340 aircraft of the issue of

Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin No. A33/34-32-285.

VSB A33/34-32-285 details:

- Detailed Visual Inspections (DVI) of the bogie pivot pin chromium-plated surface

- Magnetic Particle Inspections (MPI) of the bogie pivot pin if damage is found to the

chromium-plated surface

- DVI’s of the pivot pin bushes in the bogie beam and sliding tube.

(3) Advantages

These inspections will:

- make sure that all damaged bogie pivot pins are repaired or replaced if found

damaged

- gather detailed information from the fleet to further investigate this issue.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

None

D. DESCRIPTION

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

F. APPROVAL

The technical content of this document is approved under authority of Design Organization

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
