### TITLE: EXHAUST - THRUST REVERSER OPENING MECHANISM - INSPECT REAR HINGE LUGS OF R.R. THRUST REVERSER. **CONF ALL MODIFICATIONS None REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES During flight tests, unexpected fatigue high loads were measured at the time of the certification, on the hinges integrated on the 12 o’clock beam which forms the upper extreme edge of the thrust reverser unit C.duct. To establish an interval of inspection on those hinges, more accurate testing was necessary. The thrust reverser structure stress analysis has shown that when the high loads are imposed, the hinges are unable to withstand a full aircraft life without the here above inspection. This Inspection Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A330-243, A330-341, A330-342 and A330-343 aircraft powered by ROLLS ROYCE Trent 700 engines of the issue of ROLLS ROYCE Inspection Service Bulletin No. RB.211-78-AB115 Revision No. 04 or later approved revision. This Inspection Service Bulletin requires to do : - A general visual inspection of the hinges assemblies and along the beam structure. - A detailed visual inspection of the hinges 2, 3, 4 and 5. - If necessary, the replacement of the right or/and left engine thrust reverser. Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will provide an immediate indication on the hinges reliability in order to avoid further damages on the thrust reverser. The life limitations are covered by an Airworthiness Directive (AD).

C. REASON (1) History During flight tests, unexpected fatigue high loads were measured at the time of the certification, on the hinges integrated on the 12 o’clock beam which forms the upper extreme edge of the thrust reverser unit C.duct. To establish an interval of inspection on those hinges, more accurate testing was necessary. The thrust reverser structure stress analysis has shown that when the high loads are imposed, the hinges are unable to withstand a full aircraft life without the here above inspection. (2) Objective/Action This Inspection Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A330-243, A330-341, A330-342 and A330-343 aircraft powered by ROLLS ROYCE Trent 700 engines of the issue of ROLLS ROYCE Inspection Service Bulletin No. RB.211-78- AB115 Revision No. 04 or later approved revision. This Inspection Service Bulletin requires to do : - A general visual inspection of the hinges assemblies and along the beam structure. - A detailed visual inspection of the hinges 2, 3, 4 and 5. - If necessary, the replacement of the right or/and left engine thrust reverser. (3) Advantages Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will provide an immediate indication on the hinges reliability in order to avoid further damages on the thrust reverser. (4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences The life limitations are covered by an Airworthiness Directive (AD). D. DESCRIPTION To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to : Task 783006-832-801-001: Inspection (1) Do a general visual inspection of the hinges assemblies and along the beam structure. (2) Do a detailed visual inspection of the hinges 2, 3, 4 and 5. Task 783006-833-801-001: Repair (1) If necessary, replace the RH or/and the LH engine thrust reverser.

E. COMPLIANCE (1) Classification MANDATORY (2) Accomplishment Timescale This Inspection Service Bulletin must be accomplished before accumulation of : - 1,200 Flight Cycles (FC) for aircraft on which Mod. No. 46879S14637 and Mod. No.47358S14840 are not embodied, with repetitive Inspection every 1,200 FC, - 2,000 FC for aircraft on which Mod. No. 46879S14637 or Mod. No.47358S14840 is embodied, with repetitive Inspection every 2,000 FC. 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. F. APPROVAL Approved under EASA 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.
