C. REASON 

(1) History 

Following changes in Apr-2013 rev1s1on and Temporary Revision 53-001 (dated Nov 

28/14) of SRM A340-200/-300, and with regards to previously embodied SRM repairs, 

Airbus is requiring the operators to apply specific actions defined in this Service Bulletin. 

(2) Objective/Action 

This Service Bulletin requires the operators to identify records of SRM skin doubler 

repairs at stringer 9 longitudinal panel junction between Frame 10 and Frame 13. 

In case of an existing SRM repair, recorded prior to SRM Temporary Revision 

53-001 (dated Nov 28/14), is located in excluded area of SRM Temporary Revision 

53-001 (dated Nov 28/14) or subsequent SRM revision, please contact AIRBUS 

Repair Support (SEOE) for further instructions. 

In case of an existing SRM repair, recorded prior to SRM Temporary Revision 

53-001 (dated Nov 28/14), is not located in excluded area of SRM Temporary 

Revision 53-001 (dated Nov 28/14) or subsequent SRM revision, please update 

recorded inspection instructions in line with the current SRM requirements. 

(3) Advantages 

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will contribute to maintain the structural integrity 

of skin doubler repairs of the longitudinal panel junction at stringer 9 between Frame 10 

and Frame 13. 

( 4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences 

None 

D. DESCRIPTION 

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

E. COMPLIANCE 

(1) Classification 

MANDATORY: Service Bulletin must be accomplished. 

(2) Accomplishment Timescale 

This Service Bulletin has been classified Mandatory. It is expected that an Airworthiness 

Directive (AD) published by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will be issued 

to confirm this classification. It is anticipated that the AD will confirm the thresholds 

given but reference should be made to the AD for confirmation of the mandated 

accomplishment timescale.

F. APPROVAL 

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

Organisation Approval No. EASA.21 J.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.

WARNING: 

CAUTION: 

NOTE: 

NOTE: 

NOTE: 

NOTE: 

NOTE: 

MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS 

INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES. 

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. 

The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin include procedures given 

in other documents or in other sections of the Service Bulletin. When the words 

'refer to' are used and the operator has a procedure accepted by the local authority 

he belongs to, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words 'in 

accordance with' are used then the given procedure must be followed. 

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. 

Manual titles given in the accomplishment instructions are referred to by acronyms. 

Refer to paragraph 1.J., References, for the definition of acronyms. 

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. 

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.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS 

INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES. 

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. 

The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin include procedures given 

in other documents or in other sections of the Service Bulletin. When the words 

'refer to' are used and the operator has a procedure accepted by the local authority 

he belongs to, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words 'in 

accordance with' are used then the given procedure must be followed. 

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. 

Manual titles given in the accomplishment instructions are referred to by acronyms. 

Refer to paragraph 1.J., References, for the definition of acronyms. 

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. 

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.
