INSPECTION OF THE MLG RIB 6 FWD AND AFT LUGS

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

During Main Landing Gear (MLG) lubrication, a crack has been visually found on the FWD Lug of the

Wing MLG Rib 6 on an A330 in-service aircraft. This aircraft was Pre Mod. No. 49353H14087 (Service

Bulletin No. A330-57-3082) and had accumulated 3,638 Flight Cycles (FC) and 25,469 Flight Hours

(FH) at the time of finding.

The crack had extended through the entire thickness of the FWD Lug, at approximately the 4 o’clock

position (when looking forward). Subsequently, several cases have been reported on A330/A340

aircraft.

The equivalent of this Service Bulletin has been validated on A340 aircraft MSN 0402.

The objective of this Inspection Service Bulletin is to introduce a repetitive Detailed Inspection (DI) to

detect any cracks on the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing MLG Rib 6.

NOTE: This Inspection is applicable to all A330 aircraft. This includes aircraft that are Pre and

Post Mod. No. 49353H14087 (Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3082) and aircraft that are

Pre and Post Repair Instruction R57256230 or Repair Instruction R57256266 or SRM

57-26-13.

The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces repeat inspections that will ensure that any

through cracks on the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing MLG Rib 6 will be identified.

The maintenance consequences of this Service Bulletin are the repetitive inspection requirements.

C. REASON

(1) History

During Main Landing Gear (MLG) lubrication, a crack has been visually found on the

FWD Lug of the Wing MLG Rib 6 on an A330 in-service aircraft. This aircraft was

Pre Mod. No. 49353H14087 (Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3082) and had accumulated

3,638 Flight Cycles (FC) and 25,469 Flight Hours (FH) at the time of finding.

The crack had extended through the entire thickness of the FWD Lug, at approximately

the 4 o’clock position (when looking forward). Subsequently, several cases have been

reported on A330/A340 aircraft.

The equivalent of this Service Bulletin has been validated on A340 aircraft MSN 0402.

(2) Objective/Action

The objective of this Inspection Service Bulletin is to introduce a repetitive Detailed

Inspection (DI) to detect any cracks on the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing

MLG Rib 6.

SERVICE BULLETIN

NOTE: This Inspection is applicable to all A330 aircraft. This includes aircraft

that are Pre and Post Mod. No. 49353H14087 (Service Bulletin No.

A330-57-3082) and aircraft that are Pre and Post Repair Instruction

R57256230 or Repair Instruction R57256266 or SRM 57-26-13.

(3) Advantages

The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces repeat inspections that will

ensure that any through cracks on the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing MLG

Rib 6 will be identified.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

The maintenance consequences of this Service Bulletin are the repetitive inspection

requirements.

D. DESCRIPTION

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

Task 573096-832-895-001: INSPECTION

(1) Do a Detailed Inspection of the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing MLG

Rib 6

E. COMPLIANCE

(1) Classification

MANDATORY: Service Bulletin must be accomplished.

(2) Accomplishment Timescale

The DI of the FWD and AFT Lugs is mandatory at the threshold of 24 months or

2000FC since first flight, whichever occurs first.

For aircraft beyond the revised threshold that have not had a DI of the FWD and AFT

Lugs a Grace period of 1 month can be applied.

AOT A57L005-14 is an acceptable means of compliance to ISB A330-57-3096.

Aircraft that have already performed an inspection in accordance with AOT A57L005-14

will be required to perform the next inspection at the interval given in the table.

(1) Perform a detailed inspection of the LH and RH Wing MLG Rib 6 FWD and AFT

bearing lugs to detect any cracks.

(2) If no crack is detected, repeat the inspection within the following intervals:

NOTE: If any crack is detected during the inspections required by (1) or (2),

contact AIRBUS immediately and before next flight, replace the cracked

MLG Rib 6 fitting.

Replacement of the MLG Rib 6 fitting does not constitute terminating

action for the repetitive inspection requirements. However if a new gear

rib has been installed then the first inspection is to be performed within

24 months or 2000FC, whichever occurs first.

This Service Bulletin has been classified 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 mandated accomplishment timescale.

F. APPROVAL

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

Organisation 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

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.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Task 573096-832-895-001 - INSPECTION

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.

IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION, REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.

NOTE: 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.

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: 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.
