### TITLE: STABILIZERS - RUDDER SIDE SHELL SANDWICH REPAIR INSPECTION **CONF ALL MODIFICATIONS None REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES On AIRBUS Single Aisle, Long Range and Wide Body family aircraft, the rudder side shell is a sandwich structure made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) with a honeycomb core. A case of skin damage was reported on a composite side panel of a rudder installed on an A310 aircraft. Investigations have shown that the damage started from a skin panel area previously repaired in-service. This repair was performed as per A310 SRM 55-41-12 Fig. 204 procedure. The new damage has been identified as a damage between the core and the skin in the repaired area. This new damage has developed during normal operations due to the variation of pressure during ground-air-ground cycles. Following the above mentioned damage scenario, it has been identified that SRM procedures need to be improved to ensure an adequate repair quality. An improper bonding between skin and core during a repair may lead to a damage initiation and propagation, which may not be detectable visually. A large rudder damage, resulting from an undetected damage growth, could affect the handling quality of the aircraft. This Service Bulletin details the inspection procedure to inspect affected rudders fitted on A330 aircraft for potential damage. Different inspection procedures are necessary: - Pulse thermography inspection - Elasticity Laminate Checker (ELCH) inspection - Ultrasonic Testing (UT) inspection. - Tap test inspection.

(6) Material Effectivity MATERIAL QTY PER A/C SEE NOTES Consumable CMLD01 1 B. CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None C. REASON (1) History On AIRBUS Single Aisle, Long Range and Wide Body family aircraft, the rudder side shell is a sandwich structure made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) with a honeycomb core. A case of skin damage was reported on a composite side panel of a rudder installed on an A310 aircraft. Investigations have shown that the damage started from a skin panel area previously repaired in-service. This repair was performed as per A310 SRM 55-41-12 Fig. 204 procedure. The new damage has been identified as a damage between the core and the skin in the repaired area. This new damage has developed during normal operations due to the variation of pressure during ground-air-ground cycles. Following the above mentioned damage scenario, it has been identified that SRM procedures need to be improved to ensure an adequate repair quality. An improper bonding between skin and core during a repair may lead to a damage initiation and propagation, which may not be detectable visually. A large rudder damage, resulting from an undetected damage growth, could affect the handling quality of the aircraft.

# @A330 SERVICE BULLETIN (2) Objective/Action This Service Bulletin details the inspection procedure to inspect affected rudders fitted on A330 aircraft for potential damage. Different inspection procedures are necessary: - Pulse thermography inspection - Elasticity Laminate Checker (ELCH) inspection - Ultrasonic Testing (UT) inspection. - Tap test inspection. (3) Advantages The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will contribute to detect potential damage around in-service repairs accomplished on rudders made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) with a honeycomb core. (4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences None D. DESCRIPTION NOTE : The listed subtasks are not in sequence with the work steps. To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to : Task 553043-832-848-001: Inspection (1) Check the rudder repair records (2) Identify the type, location and size of in-service repairs on the rudder side shell CFRP areas in case of complete repair records since rudder Entry Into Service (EIS) are available (3) Do a pulse thermography inspection on the complete rudder side shell CFRP areas to identify possible rudder in-service repairs in case of repair records are not complete or not available (4) Do the corrective actions in case of fluid ingress detected (5) Do the ELCH and/or UT inspection around identified repairs/fluid ingress (6) Do terminating actions in case of no damage detected (7) Inspect the rudder side shell upper GFRP areas (8) Close the holes in case of drilling thru the outer skin during paint thickness measurement DATE: Feb 07/13 SERVICE BULLETIN No.: A330-55-3043 REVISION No.: 01 - Aug 20/14 Page: 8 6

1. PREPARE THE PAINT BORER ACCORDING TO THE OPERATING

1. PLACE THE PAINT BORER ON THE AREA, WHERE THE THICKNESS OF THE RUDDER PAINT HAS TO BE MEASURED, SEE FIG. A
−GABAA SHEET 3+4 2. DO THE DRILLING AND THE PAINT THICKNESS MEASUREMENT ACCORDING PAINT BORER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, REFER ALSO CAUTION: DO NOT DRILL DEEPLY INTO THE BASE MATERIAL (CFRP OR GFRP). ONLY A TINY BASE MATERIAL SPOT IS ENOUGH TO MEASURE THE PAINT THICKNESS, REFER TO FIG. A
−GABAA SHEET 5+6 3. APPLY A CONTRAST MARK (WITH A NON PERMANENT MARKER PEN) ON THE THE SPOT OF MEASUREMENT. IF THE RUDDER PAINT IS LIGHT (E.G. YELLOW, WHITE ...), USE A DARK (BLACK) PEN TO ENHANCE CONTRAST OF THE TOP COATING, IN CASE OF A DARK TOP COAT USE A LIGHT (WHITE) PEN. SEE A. PREPARATION FOR INSPECTION
