This page transmits Revision No.01 of Service Bulletin No.A340-34-5072

ADDITIONAL WORK

**CONF ALL

ADDITIONAL WORK is required by this revision for aircraft inspected by the original issue of this

Service Bulletin and with PN C16291AB installed.

The ADDITIONAL WORK is issued to ensure that the correct Serial Number (SN) of AOA Probe PN

C16291AB was installed.

No ADDITIONAL WORK is required for aircraft with PN C16291AA installed by the original issue of this

Service Bulletin.

REASON

Revision No. 01 issued to add Serial Number of Angle Of Attack PN C16291AB to be inspected.

NOTE: The original issue of this Inspection Service Bulletin was focusing on a batch of SN

having all the PN C16291AA. However, in the mean time, some units may have been

upgraded to PN C16291AB by THALES Service Bulletin C16291A-34-009 without fixing

the oil residue anomaly.

The ADDITIONAL WORK for this Service Bulletin is issue to also inspect PN

C16291AB. The batch is unchanged in terms of SN.

CHANGES

The main changes of the Revision No. 01 are:

- to add ADDITIONAL WORK for aircraft on which AOA Probes PN C16291AB are installed by the

original issue of this Service Bulletin,

- to add Config. 002 valid for aircraft on which AOA PN C16291AB is installed,

INSPECTION OF THALES AOA PROBES

**CONF ALL

MODIFICATIONS

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

During Airbus Final Assembly Line reception flight test, AOA (Angle of Attack) data from two aircraft

(one per A/C) were found inaccurate during the in-flight production tests and confirmed during DFDR

(Digital Flight Data Recorder) analysis.

Investigation of the removed probes revealed oil residue between the stator and the rotor parts of the

AOA vane position resolvers. The presence of this oil residue results from a quality escape during the

manufacturing process of the AOA resolvers, which led to a poor cleaning of machining oil.

The oil residue has been found to become viscous at low temperatures (typically in cruise) causing lag

of AOA vane movement.

This Inspection Service Bulletin requires the inspection of THALES AOA probes PN C16291AA and PN

C16291AB. For those AOA probes corresponding to the batch of serial numbers listed in THALES VSB

C16291A-34-007 Rev. 01 or any later revision, replacement of the AOA probe is required.

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will ensure that AOA probes potentially affected by the oil

residue issue are replaced on aircraft.

SERVICE BULLETIN

C. REASON

(1) History

During Airbus Final Assembly Line reception flight test, AOA (Angle of Attack) data from

two aircraft (one per A/C) were found inaccurate during the in-flight production tests and

confirmed during DFDR (Digital Flight Data Recorder) analysis.

Investigation of the removed probes revealed oil residue between the stator and the

rotor parts of the AOA vane position resolvers. The presence of this oil residue results

from a quality escape during the manufacturing process of the AOA resolvers, which led

to a poor cleaning of machining oil.

The oil residue has been found to become viscous at low temperatures (typically in

cruise) causing lag of AOA vane movement.

(2) Objective/Action

This Inspection Service Bulletin requires the inspection of THALES AOA probes PN

C16291AA and PN C16291AB. For those AOA probes corresponding to the batch of

serial numbers listed in THALES VSB C16291A-34-007 Rev. 01 or any later revision,

replacement of the AOA probe is required.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will ensure that AOA probes potentially affected

by the oil residue issue are replaced on aircraft.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

None

D. DESCRIPTION

NOTE: For Config. 001, depending on the result of the inspection, four possibilities

are available:

- either replace the affected AOA probes as described in TASK

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

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

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 or 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.

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 or 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.
