Customization and Delivery Information Services (CDIS) - Aircraft Inspection Report (AIR) indicates that Mod. No. 40391S10374 (MODIFY THE REINFORCEMENT TO INSTALL THE HANDLING FITTING AT FR39.1) is fully embodied on aircraft MSN 0002 and 0003. However, Mod. No. 40391S10374 was embodied on aircraft MSN 0029 and subsequent. After review, AIRBUS confirmed that aircraft MSN 0002 and 0003 do not have Mod. No. 40391S10374 embodied and therefore these aircraft are subjected to above ALI task. The AIR do not reflect the true aircraft configuration. MSN 0002 and 0003 are pre-Mod. No. 40391S10374. This Service Bulletin mandates the inspection steps of Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALI) 533105-01-01 as per NTM 53-31-05 on A340 aircraft MSN 0002 and 0003 and also 18 aircraft pre-Mod. No. 40391S10374, that is a special detailed inspection of fuselage internal structure, fastener hole area above stringer 28 at Frame 39.1 web junction on hoist fitting (LH and RH side). The AIR of MSN 0002 and 0003 will be revised to reflect the actual aircraft configuration. The ALI task will be cancelled and this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will be used as the source document in the MPD (to be amended at next revision).
