TITLE : LANDING GEAR - EXTENSION AND RETRACTION - INSPECTION ON MAIN LANDING GEAR

RETRACTION ACTUATOR CYLINDER ROD.

MODIFICATION No. : None

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

One operator has reported failure of the LH Main Landing Gear (MLG) retraction actuator cylinder rod. This

rod failure occurred close to life limit of the component.

This Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) requires to check the Part Number (P/N) of the MLG retraction actuator

cylinder rod.

Only the rod P/Ns C69029-2 and C69029-3 are affected by this ISB.

Depending on the inspection results :

- If the Cycles Since New is equal to or above 12,000 FC, remove the actuator and apply the Messier

Dowty Service Bulletin No. 470-32-806 within :

. 1,000 FC or 1 year after AD issuance (whichever occurs first) if the CSN is equal to or above 22,000 FC.

. 2,000 FC or 2 years after AD issuance (whichever occurs first) if the CSN is below 22,000 FC, not

exceeding 23,000 FC.

In any case, the MLG retraction actuator cylinder rod must be removed at 32,000 FC due to life limit of this part.

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will prevent possible failure of the MLG retraction actuator cylinder rod.

SERVICE BULLETIN

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.
