SUMMARY
This summary is for information only and is not approved for modification of the aircraft.
A. MODIFICATIONS
MODIFICATION CLASSIFICATION
MAJOR None
MINOR 13866S22953
NOTE: As per EASA IR 21, a minor change is one that has no appreciable effect on the
mass, balance, structural strength, reliability, operational characteristics affecting
the airworthiness of the product. All other changes are major changes.
NOTE: This modification related to an Airworthiness issue has been classified by Airbus
and confirmed by EASA as minor in accordance with EU Part 21.A.91. As such, this
minor change is handled by Airbus under its Design Organisation Approval No.
EASA.21J.031.
B. REASON
(1) History
Three cases of cracks on Main Landing Gear (MLG) barrel/hinge arm pin have been
reported to AIRBUS. These cracks initiate on the inner diameter of the pin following an
overload event leading in the worse case to the connecting rod bushes fracture and
migration.
AIRBUS developed a solution to fix the root cause of cracks by improving outer
diameter pin corrosion protection and stopping connecting rod bushes migration.
(2) Objective/Action
This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A300 aircraft of the issue
of SAFRAN LANDING SYSTEMS Service Bulletin No. 470-32-842 which replaces the
connecting rod spacer.
This modification consists in the modification of the spacer design in order to
introduce stops which will limit the migration of the connecting rod bushes in case of
bush fracture. The spacer is a sleeve located between the connecting rod lugs and
held in place by the connecting rod bushes.
This Service Bulletin allows operators to perform this replacement in shop through
SAFRAN LANDING SYSTEMS Service Bulletin No. 470-32-842.
(3) Advantages
The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces a new design of spacer in order
to stop the bushes migration in case of a fracture.
Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin cancels the requirements of Inspection Service
Bulletin No. A300-32-0468.
(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences
None

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 Ref. ESPM 20-55-00.
