Rudder inspection on external surface 

Changes for Issue E: Page 1 and 10 revised; page 25 added 

The external surface of the rudder has to be inspected in defined areas for debonding. 

Inspect the individual Rudder with the ELCH inspection method given on page 2 to 4 in the 

areas as defined in table 1 on pages 8 and 9. 

This table is sorted by operator and MSN, it defines the required inspection per panel on LH 

and/or RH side. The letter in the inspection location box defines the TD page with the 

dimensions of the individual inspection area. These dimensions are given on page 11 and 

subsequent ones. 

Rudders which are affected in areas with thicker skins need a specific inspection method. 

The rudders to be inspected with the Vacuum Loss Inspection method are listed on page 10.

For the final Vacuum Loss Inspection at Locations D and F to N the Inspection Instruction as 

per Appendix A is required. 

In case of findings the inspection results have to be reported to Airbus before next flight to 

get further instructions. If there are no findings report to Airbus within 10 days. 

For the reporting use the reporting sheet from pages 5 to 7, use one reporting sheet for each 

inspection area. 

Send the inspection report with a referenced mail to:

Job preparation: 

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

IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL 

STABILIZERS (REFER TO A310 or A300-600 AMM 55-40-00). 

NOTE: To achieve a full picture of the structural condition in the inspection area it is required 

to check in advance the aircraft documentation for any repairs performed by the operator in 

that area. If repairs are present in the inspection area document them together with the 

inspection results on the reporting sheets at page 5 to 7.

- The aircraft must be in a Hangar or Dock providing accessibility to the complete 

rudder external surface. 

- Make sure that the aircraft is electrically grounded 

(Refer to A310 or A300-600 AMM 24-00-00 PB301). 

- Make the horizontal and vertical stabilizer safe 

(Refer to A310 or A300-600 AMM 55-00-00 PB301). 

- Conditions and supplies needed for inspection: 

- Compressed air supply for ELCH test 

- Get access to the rudder (if required by a platform or Cherry Picker) 

- Get access to the rudder front spar by opening the relevant trailing edge panel, 

verify and record Rudder S/N and P/N 

(the identification plate is located on the rudder front spar, see next page). 

If the actual S/N does not match with the S/N from table 1 (pages 8 and 9) or the 

identification plate is missing report to Airbus to get new instructions for this rudder. 

- Record FC and FH of the rudder. 

- Close trailing edge panels.

Perform the Inspection as follows:

Inspect the external surface by the methods: 

 Mark and clean the inspection Area (with Solvent General Purpose (Mat No. 11-026) 

and lint free Cotton Cloth (Mat. No. 19-003)). 

 Perform ELCH Inspection as per NTM 51-10-26 Part 7.

For Locations D, E, F, H, L, N and P: Apply the inspection grid and maintain a distance to any edge or fastener as per sketch at the bottom of this page. 

For Locations B, C, C2, G, J, K and M: Apply an inspection grid of 75x75mm and 

maintain a distance to any edge or fastener of 75mm. 

For calibration use only Method 1 and apply the threshold values for: 

the area between trailing edge screws and trailing edge: 

(1) Yellow value: 0.3mm and (2) Red value: 0.4mm 

all other areas: 

(1) Yellow value: 0.25mm and (2) Red value: 0.35mm 

 

 In case of findings determine the complete debonded area even if it extends outside 

the defined inspection area.

 In case of findings re-examine by tap test from outside as per NTM 51-10-19 Part 5 

whether an outer or inner skin disbond is present.

 Document the inspection results using the reporting sheets on pages 5 to 7. 

In case of findings mark the inspection results with dimensions on the rudder surface 

and document by a photo and if operator performed repairs are present in the inspection area include these in the damage report with relevant dimensions.

 

Job close up: 

- Make sure that the work areas are clean and clear of tools and other items of 

equipment. 

- Remove the control safety locks and warning notices, as necessary. 

- Put the horizontal and vertical stabilizers back to operating condition (Refer to A310 

or A300-600 AMM 55-00-00 PB301).

- Remove the access platforms, if used.
