TITLE: LANDING GEAR - MAIN GEAR - INSPECTION OF SIDE STAY UPPER

CARDAN PIN AND NUT

**CONF ALL

MODIFICATIONS

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES

Inspection of an A330 aircraft fitted with Basic Main Landing Gear (MLG) has shown that the MLG

Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin (UCP) can migrate from its original position and that the UCP nut and

retainer can become detached. The reported MLG sidestay upper cardan pin migration event had been

caused by corrosion, due to lack of jointing compound and inadequate sealant application during MLG

installation. Therefore, this issue affects any MLG that has had a UCP replacement or re-installation,

since Entry Into Service (EIS), irrespective of MLG overhaul.

The loss of the side stay UCP locking function can lead to a complete migration of the UCP and

disconnection of the MLG side stay upper arm from the aircraft structure.

Mandatory All Operators Telex (AOT) A32L003-14 requires all operators to do a gap check of all

applicable UCPs.

As a follow up to the AOT an inspection is considered necessary to capture any corrosion that may be

present on the UCP and associated nut threads. Corrosion may not have been picked up as part of the

AOT checks but may contribute to migration of the UCP. The aim of this inspection Service Bulletin is

to request operators to:

- do a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin Locking Assembly

- check for corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the threads of the UCP and UCP Nut

- If damage, pitting or corrosion is found on the UCP or UCP Nut, the damaged parts are to be

replaced before further flight.

SERVICE BULLETIN

SUMMARY

Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will help in the early detection of corrosion,

pitting and/or damage to the UCP and nut retainer assembly. This minimizes the possibility of a

potential unsafe condition arising from the disconnection of the upper side stay arm from the aircraft

structure.

In addition, to prevent any improper re-installation of an upper cardan pin on a MLG, Airbus amended

the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) on 01 October 2014.

C. REASON

(1) History

Inspection of an A330 aircraft fitted with Basic Main Landing Gear (MLG) has shown that

the MLG Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin (UCP) can migrate from its original position

and that the UCP nut and retainer can become detached. The reported MLG sidestay

upper cardan pin migration event had been caused by corrosion, due to lack of jointing

compound and inadequate sealant application during MLG installation. Therefore, this

issue affects any MLG that has had a UCP replacement or re-installation, since Entry

Into Service (EIS), irrespective of MLG overhaul.

The loss of the side stay UCP locking function can lead to a complete migration of the

UCP and disconnection of the MLG side stay upper arm from the aircraft structure.

Mandatory All Operators Telex (AOT) A32L003-14 requires all operators to do a gap

check of all applicable UCPs.

(2) Objective/Action

As a follow up to the AOT an inspection is considered necessary to capture any

corrosion that may be present on the UCP and associated nut threads. Corrosion may

not have been picked up as part of the AOT checks but may contribute to migration of

the UCP. The aim of this inspection Service Bulletin is to request operators to:

- do a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin Locking

Assembly

SERVICE BULLETIN

- check for corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the threads of the UCP and UCP Nut

- If damage, pitting or corrosion is found on the UCP or UCP Nut, the damaged parts

are to be replaced before further flight.

(3) Advantages

Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will help in the early detection

of corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the UCP and nut retainer assembly. This

minimizes the possibility of a potential unsafe condition arising from the disconnection of

the upper side stay arm from the aircraft structure.

(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences

In addition, to prevent any improper re-installation of an upper cardan pin on a MLG,

Airbus amended the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) on 01 October

2014.

F. APPROVAL

The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of 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.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Task 324301-832-895-001 - Inspection

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS

INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES ARE

IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:

- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS

- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES

- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS

- COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.

MOVEMENT OF COMPONENTS CAN KILL OR INJURE PERSONS.

CAUTION: ALWAYS OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS THAT FOLLOW TO KEEP

ELECTRICAL WIRING IN A SATISFACTORY CONDITION (ELECTRICALLY

AND MECHANICALLY SERVICEABLE). WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE

WORK, REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS, ALWAYS KEEP ELECTRICAL WIRING,

COMPONENTS AND THE WORK AREA AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. TO DO

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

AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION.

IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION, REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.

NOTE: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin include procedures given

in other documents or in other sections of the Service Bulletin. When the words

’refer to’ are used and the operator has a procedure accepted by the local authority

he belongs to, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words ’in

accordance with’ are used then the given procedure must be followed.

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 of acronyms.
