REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

During a structural A330 aircraft fatigue test, cracks appeared in the keel beam fitting at Frame

40 (FR40), initiating at the first hole aft of FR40 datum. The structural analysis led to the issue

of the Mandatory Inspection Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3081 (WINGS - CENTER WING BOX -

INSPECTION OF KEEL BEAM FASTENER HOLES AT FRAME 40 (UNREPAIRED AIRCRAFT)) and

the issue of the Recommended Modification Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098, Modification No.

56467S18944 ( WINGS - CENTER WING BOX-MODIFY FASTENERS INSTALLATION IN THE

JUNCTION KEEL BEAM FITTING AT FR40).

Accomplishment of the Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 cancels the inspection requirements of the

Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3081.

The accomplishment Instructions in Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 must be completed for all

aircraft belonging to configuration 002 listed in the effectivity of this Service Bulletin Rev. 01 and Rev.

02.

A missing instruction has been detected in the following cases:

- Either with a crack indication at hole 5 at time of Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 Rev. 01 or

Rev. 02 accomplishment (Case 1),

- or with a bush installed before Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 Rev. 01 or Rev. 02

accomplishment at hole 5 and without a crack indication at hole 5 at time of Service Bulletin No.

A330-57-3098 Rev. 01 or Rev. 02 accomplishment (Case 2).

SERVICE BULLETIN

SUMMARY

In case of crack indication during rototest inspection of fastener hole 5 as per Service Bulletin

instructions, adjacent hole 6 has to be cold worked. A rototest inspection has to be performed before

the cold working. However, this instruction is missing in the Service Bulletin.

CASE 2:

In case of bush installation before Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 Rev. 01 or Rev. 02

accomplishment at hole 5 and no crack indication at hole 5 reported by rototest per Service Bulletin

instructions, adjacent hole 6 has to be cold worked. A rototest inspection has to be performed before

the cold working. However, this instruction is missing in the Service Bulletin.

Doing a rototest inspection before the cold working is considered a standard practice. Nevertheless, two

Service Bulletin Information Transmission (SBIT) Ref. 11-0041 and 12-0032 have been issued to inform

operators about this occurrence.

Operators Information Transmission (OIT) Ref. 999.0082/12 can also be consulted about this

occurrence.

Eventually this Service Bulletin is issued to settle this matter.

This Service Bulletin request a one time ultrasonic inspection of fastener hole 6 in the junction keel

beam fitting at FR40 LH/RH side to ensure that no crack was left unrepaired at time of fastener hole

cold working.

In case of no finding, affected aircraft are inspected as per Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALI) Task

ref. 57-11-63 based on interval value.

In case of finding, AIRBUS repair department will have to be contacted for further repair instructions.

For aircraft which have not accomplished Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 at Rev. 01 or Rev. 02,

perform repetitive inspection as per Inspection Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3081 or apply Service

Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 at Rev. 03 or next when recommended threshold is reached.

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will avoid extensive repair in the junction keel beam fitting at

FR40.

SERVICE BULLETIN

C. REASON

(1) History

During a structural A330 aircraft fatigue test, cracks appeared in the keel beam fitting at

Frame 40 (FR40), initiating at the first hole aft of FR40 datum. The structural analysis

led to the issue of the Mandatory Inspection Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3081

(WINGS - CENTER WING BOX - INSPECTION OF KEEL BEAM FASTENER HOLES

AT FRAME 40 (UNREPAIRED AIRCRAFT)) and the issue of the Recommended

Modification Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098, Modification No. 56467S18944 ( WINGS

- CENTER WING BOX-MODIFY FASTENERS INSTALLATION IN THE JUNCTION

KEEL BEAM FITTING AT FR40).

Accomplishment of the Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 cancels the inspection

requirements of the Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3081.

The accomplishment Instructions in Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 must be

completed for all aircraft belonging to configuration 002 listed in the effectivity of this

Service Bulletin Rev. 01 and Rev. 02.

A missing instruction has been detected in the following cases:

- Either with a crack indication at hole 5 at time of Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098

Rev. 01 or Rev. 02 accomplishment (Case 1),

- or with a bush installed before Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 Rev. 01 or Rev.

02 accomplishment at hole 5 and without a crack indication at hole 5 at time of

Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 Rev. 01 or Rev. 02 accomplishment (Case 2).

CASE 1:

In case of crack indication during rototest inspection of fastener hole 5 as per Service

Bulletin instructions, adjacent hole 6 has to be cold worked. A rototest inspection has to

be performed before the cold working. However, this instruction is missing in the Service

Bulletin.

CASE 2:

In case of bush installation before Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 Rev. 01 or Rev. 02

accomplishment at hole 5 and no crack indication at hole 5 reported by rototest per

Service Bulletin instructions, adjacent hole 6 has to be cold worked. A rototest inspection

has to be performed before the cold working. However, this instruction is missing in the

Service Bulletin.

Doing a rototest inspection before the cold working is considered a standard practice.

Nevertheless, two Service Bulletin Information Transmission (SBIT) Ref. 11-0041 and

12-0032 have been issued to inform operators about this occurrence.

Operators Information Transmission (OIT) Ref. 999.0082/12 can also be consulted about

this occurrence.

Eventually this Service Bulletin is issued to settle this matter.

SERVICE BULLETIN

(2) Objective/Action

This Service Bulletin request a one time ultrasonic inspection of fastener hole 6 in

the junction keel beam fitting at FR40 LH/RH side to ensure that no crack was left

unrepaired at time of fastener hole cold working.

In case of no finding, affected aircraft are inspected as per Airworthiness Limitation

Items (ALI) Task ref. 57-11-63 based on interval value.

In case of finding, AIRBUS repair department will have to be contacted for further repair

instructions.

For aircraft which have not accomplished Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 at Rev.

01 or Rev. 02, perform repetitive inspection as per Inspection Service Bulletin No.

A330-57-3081 or apply Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3098 at Rev. 03 or next when

recommended threshold is reached.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will avoid extensive repair in the junction keel

beam fitting at FR40.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

None

D. DESCRIPTION

To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

Task 573117-832-801-001: Inspection

(1) On the LH and RH sides, remove (if necessary) the ducts between FR39.1 and

FR40, for access.

(2) Inspect one keel beam fastener hole between FR40 and STGR1.

(3) On the LH and RH sides, install (if removed) the ducts between FR39.1 and FR40.

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

accomplishment timescale.
