MODIFICATIONS None
REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES During a routine maintenance on A300-600 aircraft, operators have reported separate instances of cracks in the Frame feet fittings, connecting the Frame lower positions to the centre wing box (air conditioning bay).
Since this time, AIRBUS has carried out a sampling inspection program on both aircraft types (A300 and A300-600).
During this sampling program, twenty three A300-600 aircraft were inspected and cracks were found on the lower Frame fittings of Frame 44 to Frame 46 (LH and RH) on twenty two of the inspected aircraft.
The aircraft with the findings have accumulated between 8000 and 21000 Flight Cycles (FC) and the lengths of the cracks varied between 12 mm and 18 mm (0.472 in. and 0.709 in.).
Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6111 was created in order to treat the affected areas by repetitive inspection and also repair in case of crack finding. Repaired Frames were no longer inspected up to aircraft Limit of Validity (LoV).
Further to new findings on repaired Frame feet, a new detailed Finite Element Model (FEM) study was performed. Outcomes of this study led Airbus to review the inspection program.
The aim of the Service Bulletin, depending of the accomplishment of Service Bulletin No.
A300-53-6111, is to perform a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the lower Frame feet fittings between Frame 41 and Frame 46 for the entire fleet.
In case of crack finding, two options are possible:
- The cracked Frame foot is replaced by an identical new one and the Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) No. A300-53-6177 is still applicable.

SERVICE BULLETIN
SUMMARY
- All Frame feet are replaced by new optimized parts as per Modification Service Bulletin No.
A300-53-6176 (Mod. No. 13721S22901). In this case, no further inspection is necessary.
Any findings (including Nil findings) are to be reported to AIRBUS.
Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6111 is therefore cancelled and superseded by this new ISB. In addition to this new inspection program, Airbus designed new Frame feet. Their installation is proposed through a dedicated modification Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6176. Accomplishment of Modification Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6176 cancels the requirements of this ISB.
Accomplishment of this ISB will allow early detection of cracks in order to avoid possible occurrence of crack propagation which can lead to costly and time-consuming repairs.

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None C. REASON
(1) History During a routine maintenance on A300-600 aircraft, operators have reported separate instances of cracks in the Frame feet fittings, connecting the Frame lower positions to the centre wing box (air conditioning bay).
Since this time, AIRBUS has carried out a sampling inspection program on both aircraft types (A300 and A300-600).
During this sampling program, twenty three A300-600 aircraft were inspected and cracks were found on the lower Frame fittings of Frame 44 to Frame 46 (LH and RH) on twenty two of the inspected aircraft. The aircraft with the findings have accumulated between 8000 and 21000 Flight Cycles (FC) and the lengths of the cracks varied between 12 mm and 18 mm (0.472 in. and 0.709 in.).

SERVICE BULLETIN Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6111 was created in order to treat the affected areas by repetitive inspection and also repair in case of crack finding. Repaired Frames were no longer inspected up to aircraft Limit of Validity (LoV).
Further to new findings on repaired Frame feet, a new detailed Finite Element Model (FEM) study was performed. Outcomes of this study led Airbus to review the inspection program.
(2) Objective/Action The aim of the Service Bulletin, depending of the accomplishment of Service Bulletin No.
A300-53-6111, is to perform a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the lower Frame feet fittings between Frame 41 and Frame 46 for the entire fleet.
In case of crack finding, two options are possible:
- The cracked Frame foot is replaced by an identical new one and the Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) No. A300-53-6177 is still applicable.
- All Frame feet are replaced by new optimized parts as per Modification Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6176 (Mod. No. 13721S22901). In this case, no further inspection is necessary.
Any findings (including Nil findings) are to be reported to AIRBUS.
Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6111 is therefore cancelled and superseded by this new ISB. In addition to this new inspection program, Airbus designed new Frame feet. Their installation is proposed through a dedicated modification Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6176. Accomplishment of Modification Service Bulletin No. A300-53-6176 cancels the requirements of this ISB.
(3) Advantages Accomplishment of this ISB will allow early detection of cracks in order to avoid possible occurrence of crack propagation which can lead to costly and time-consuming repairs.
(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences None D. DESCRIPTION To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :
**CONF 001 Task 536177-832-801-001: Detailed Inspection of the Frame foot

(2) Do a Detailed Inspection of the Frame Foot at FR41 on RH Side
(3) Do a Detailed Inspection of the Frame Foot at FR42 on LH Side DATE: May 20/15 SERVICE BULLETIN No.: A300-53-6177 REVISION No.: 00 - May 20/15 Page: 6 5 Printed in FRANCE © AIRBUS S.A.S. 2007. All rights reserved.
