ATA SYSTEM : 57

TITLE : WINGS - INSPECTION OF REAR SPAR AT SELECTED BOLT LOCATIONS FOR ATTACHMENT OF

I MLG FORWARD PICK-UP FITTING AND MLG RIB 5 AFT OF REAR SPAR (ALTERNATE MOD:

07716H1095 SB A300-57-6020).

MODIFICATION NO. : NONE

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

During fuLL-scaLe fatigue testing, cracks were discovered in the rear spar emanating from

certain boLt hoLes at the attachment of the MLG forward pick-up fitting and the MLG Rib 5

aft at approximateLy 62,000 simuLated fLights. It is possibLe that similar cracks wiLL

appear on in-service aircraft.

The Initial Issue and Revision 01 of this Service Bulletin (SB) required mandatory High

Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspections of certain fastener hoLes where the MLG forward

pick-up fitting and MLG Rib 5 aft are attached to the rear spar. This required the

fasteners to be removed. Revision 02 of this SB replaced the HFEC inspection with an

ULtrasonic (US) inspection which does not require the fasteners to be removed.

Production Modification No. 07601H1085 introduced coLd working of the MLG forward pick-up

fitting attachment holes. This has been embodied on MSN 554 and subsequent. However, due

to the introduction of the Extended Service Goal 2 (ESG2) aircraft post Modification No.

07601H1085 wiLL need to be inspected using this Service BuLLetin.

For aircraft pre Modification No. 07601H1085, retrofit Modification 07716H1095 (SB A300-

57-6020) was introduced to install oversize studs in the boLt hoLes covered by this

inspection. However, even after embodiment of Modification 07716H1095 (SB A300-57-6020)

further inspections are required.

SERVICE BULLETIN

SUMMARY

Modification 11440H5432 (SB A300-57-6073), oversizes and cold expands the bolt holes and

instaLLs oversize studs. However, due to the introduction of the ESG2 aircraft post

Modification No. 11440H5432 (SB A300-57-6073) which operate beyond the DSG wiLL need to

be inspected using this Service BuLLetin.

Modification 11440H5432 (SB A300-57-6073) is strongly recommended for embodiment at

14,400 FLight Cycles (FC) or 32,400 FLight Hours (FH), whichever occurs first.

Revision 03 of this Service BuLLetin was issued to incLude US inspection requirements for

aircraft on which HFEC inspections have aLready been done in accordance with the Initial

Issue and Revision 01 of this Service BuLLetin and

cracks were found and

the cracks were removed by oversizing the hoLe by 0.0312 inches (0.795 mm) or

0.0625 inches (1.590 mm).

Revision 04 of this Service BuLLetin has been issued to reinstate the inspection

requirement which was previously cancelled by the embodiment of Modification 11440H5432

(SB A300-57-6073) or production modification 07601H1085. Changes to the inspection

schedule were included to account for aLL aircraft operations. Changes incLude revised

inspection threshoLds, repeat intervaLs and grace periods with FH conversion figures.

EarLy detection of cracks is beneficial as significant cracking in this area would

necessitate very extensive and costly repairs.

Mandatory inspections are required at certain bolt holes where the MLG forward pick-up

fitting and MLG RIB 5 aft are attached to the rear spar. The inspections must be done at

the threshoLds and repeat intervaLs given. Aircraft which are aLready in the inspection

program wiLL require a repeat inspection at the next inspection intervaL. For other

aircraft the appropriate inspection grace periods are given.

B. REASON

(1) History

During fuLl-scale fatigue testing, cracks were discovered in the rear

spar emanating from certain bolt holes at the attachment of the MLG

forward pick -up fitting and the MLG Rib 5 aft at approximateLy 62,000

simuLated fLights. There is a possibility of simiLar cracks appearing in

servi ce.

The Initial Issue and Revision 01 of this Service BuLLetin (SB)

required mandatory High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspections

of certain fastener hoLes where the MLG forward pick-up fitting and

MLG Rib 5 aft are attached to the rear spar. This required the

fasteners to be removed. Revision 02 of this SB replaced the HFEC

inspection with an Ultrasonic (US) inspection which does not require the

fasteners to be removed.

Production Modification No. 07601H1085 introduced cold working of the

MLG forward pick-up fitting attachment hoLes. This has been embodied on

MSN 554 and subsequent. However, due to the introduction of the Extended

Service GoaL 2 (ESG2) aircraft post Modification No. 07601H1085 wiLL need

to be inspected using this Service BuLLetin.

For aircraft pre Modification No. 07601H1085, retrofit Modification

07716H1095 (SB A300-57-6020) was introduced to instaLL oversize studs in

the boLt hoLes covered by this inspection. However, even after embodiment

of Modification 07716H1095 (SB A300.57-6020) further inspections of the

boLt holes are required.

Modification 11440H5432 (SB A300-57-6073), oversizes and cold

expands the bolt hoLes and instaLls oversize studs. However, due to the

introduction of ESG2 aircraft post Modification 11440H5432 (SB A300.57-

6073) which operate beyond the DSG wiLL need to be inspected using this

Service Bulletin.

Modification 11440H5432 (SB A300-57-6073) is strongLy recommended

for embodiment at 14,400 Flight CycLes (FC) or 32,400 Flight Hours

(FH) (whichever occurs first).

Revision 02 of this Service BuLLetin (SB) was issued to change the

inspection method from HFEC and US and to include reference to

modification 11440H5432 (SB A300-57-6073). The US Inspection does not

require bolt removal or jacking of the aircraft. However the

inspection intervaLs are reduced.

REVISION No. : 04 Feb 24/11 PAGE : 5

SERVICE BULLETIN

Revision 03 of this Service BuLLetin was issued to include US inspection

requirements for aircraft on which HFEC inspections have already been

done in accordance with Initial Issue or Revision 01 of this Service

BuLLetin and:

cracks were found and

the cracks were removed by oversizing the hole by 0.0312 inches

(0.795 mm) or 0.0625 inches (1.590 mm).

Revision 04 of this Service BuLLetin has been issued to reinstate the

inspection requirement which was previousLy canceLLed by the embodiment

of Modification 11440H5432 (SB A300-57-6073) or production Modification

07601H1085. Changes to the inspection schedule were also included to

account for aLL aircraft operations. Changes include revised inspection

thresholds, repeat intervaLs and grace periods with FH conversion

figures.

(2) Objectives

Mandatory inspections are required at certain boLt hoLes where the

MLG forward pick-up fitting and MLG Rib 5 aft are attached to the

rear spar.

(3) Advantages

Early detection of cracks is beneficiaL as significant cracking in

this area would necessitate very extensive and costly repairs.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

None

(5) AccompLishment TimescaLe

(a) AccompLishment of this Service Bulletin has been rendered mandatory

by the issue of an Airworthiness Directive (AD) published by the

European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The AD must be used as the

reference document for the mandatory accomplishment timescaLe.

(b) Mandatory inspections are required at certain boLt hoLes

where the MLG forward pick-up fitting and MLG Rib 5 aft are

attached to the rear spar. The inspections must be done at the

thresholds and repeat intervaLs given in Table 1. Aircraft

which are already in the inspection program wiLL require a repeat

inspection at the next inspection interval. For other aircraft the

appropriate inspection grace periods are given in Table 1.
