REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) is supported and articulated at Frame (FR)91. Any lateral

movement is prevented by 4 diagonal support struts. During routine maintenance done on several

aircraft in this area, support struts have been found cracked. The affected area is the strut end and

typical cracks are longitudinal. On some aircraft several cracks per support strut have been found.

The Airbus Technical Disposition, LR5350D12005293, has been released to do a sampling inspection

on selected aircraft to confirm the issue.

Further investigation has shown that there are two different suppliers of the struts which makes it

possible to have a mixture of both struts installed on the aircraft. It is therefore necessary to do a check

of the strut-end diameter to determine the correct inspection procedure.

To prevent a support strut rupture, Airbus has decided to do a dedicated repeat inspection of the

affected area on all A330 and A340 aircraft.

After the inspection, depending on the supplier and result, it is necessary to install a clamping device to

the strut end through the accomplishment of the modification Service Bulletin, A330-53-3204.

The installation of the clamping device is temporary pending a permanent solution which will be

introduced through a modification Service Bulletin at a later date.

Airbus has issued an SBIT, Ref 13-0015 dated Apr 29/13 and an AMOC, Ref 10044559R01 dated Apr

23/13 to inform operators.

The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will detect potential damage at the support strut end and

limit the risk of THS lateral movement.

C. REASON

(1) History

The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) is supported and articulated at Frame (FR)91.

Any lateral movement is prevented by 4 diagonal support struts. During routine

maintenance done on several aircraft in this area, support struts have been found

cracked. The affected area is the strut end and typical cracks are longitudinal. On some

aircraft several cracks per support strut have been found.

The Airbus Technical Disposition, LR5350D12005293, has been released to do a

sampling inspection on selected aircraft to confirm the issue.

Further investigation has shown that there are two different suppliers of the struts which

makes it possible to have a mixture of both struts installed on the aircraft. It is therefore

necessary to do a check of the strut-end diameter to determine the correct inspection

procedure.

(2) Objective/Action

To prevent a support strut rupture, Airbus has decided to do a dedicated repeat

inspection of the affected area on all A330 and A340 aircraft.

After the inspection, depending on the supplier and result, it is necessary to install a

clamping device to the strut end through the accomplishment of the modification Service

Bulletin, A330-53-3204.

The installation of the clamping device is temporary pending a permanent solution which

will be introduced through a modification Service Bulletin at a later date.

Airbus has issued an SBIT, Ref 13-0015 dated Apr 29/13 and an AMOC, Ref

10044559R01 dated Apr 23/13 to inform operators.

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.

NOTE: The elapsed time is calculated for only one of the possible HFEC inspections

of all four struts taking into account the possible removal/installation of

clamps. If clamps are not installed then the elapsed time is reduced

accordingly.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Task 533206-832-848-001 - Inspection of the THS support struts

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

INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.

CAUTION: 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.

IN CASE OF CONTAMINATION REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin refer to procedures

included in other AIRBUS documents. When the words ’refer to’ are used and the

operator has an accepted alternative procedure, the accepted alternative procedure

can be used. When the words ’in accordance with’ are included in the instruction,

the procedure in the AIRBUS document must be used.

NOTE: 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.

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

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

NOTE: 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.

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

INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.

CAUTION: 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.

IN CASE OF CONTAMINATION REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin refer to procedures

included in other AIRBUS documents. When the words ’refer to’ are used and the

operator has an accepted alternative procedure, the accepted alternative procedure

can be used. When the words ’in accordance with’ are included in the instruction,

the procedure in the AIRBUS document must be used.

NOTE: 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.

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

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

NOTE: 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
