REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES
Two operators of A300 A/C fitted with GE engine pylons have reported cracks on the lower side of rib 5
in the pylon box. The concerned area is similar on A300/600 A/C fitted with GE engine pylons. The
cracks were encountered on aircraft which have logged between 16,000 and 27,000 flight hours
approximately.
Investigations disclosed that these cracks are due to the stresses resulting from the pressure applied by
the thrust reverser cowl bumpers.
This Service Bulletin requested:
- an High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection and a detailed visual inspection on the lower
side of rib 5.
- in the event of crack findings, replacement of the stiffeners made out of bent extrusion by
new thicker machined stiffeners as per Service bulletin No. A300-54-6031 (modification No.
11109S20987).
Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin enables detection of cracks on the lower side of rib 5. The
replacement of the stiffeners by Service bulletin No. A300-54-6031 (modification No. 11109S20987)
cancels this inspection Service Bulletin.
Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin is requested on GE CF6-80C pylons at 15,000 flight hours and
subsequent inspections every 15,000 flight hours.
For aircraft which have logged 15,000 flight hours, the inspection should be carried within 6,000 Flight
Hours (FH) from Service Bulletin issuance.

SERVICE BULLETIN
C. REASON
(1) History
Two operators of A300 A/C fitted with GE engine pylons have reported cracks on the
lower side of rib 5 in the pylon box. The concerned area is similar on A300/600 A/C
fitted with GE engine pylons. The cracks were encountered on aircraft which have
logged between 16,000 and 27,000 flight hours approximately.
Investigations disclosed that these cracks are due to the stresses resulting from the
pressure applied by the thrust reverser cowl bumpers.
(2) Objective/Action
This Service Bulletin requested:
- an High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) inspection and a detailed visual inspection
on the lower side of rib 5.
- in the event of crack findings, replacement of the stiffeners made out of
bent extrusion by new thicker machined stiffeners as per Service bulletin No.
A300-54-6031 (modification No. 11109S20987).
(3) Advantages
Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin enables detection of cracks on the lower side
of rib 5. The replacement of the stiffeners by Service bulletin No. A300-54-6031
(modification No. 11109S20987) cancels this inspection Service Bulletin.
(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences
Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin is requested on GE CF6-80C pylons at 15,000
flight hours and subsequent inspections every 15,000 flight hours.
For aircraft which have logged 15,000 flight hours, the inspection should be carried
within 6,000 Flight Hours (FH) from Service Bulletin issuance.
If cracks are detected, the modification must be embodied within 250 flight hours as per
Service bulletin No. A300-54-6031 (modification No. 11109S20987).
D. DESCRIPTION
To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :
Task 546034-832-801-001: Inspection
(1) Do a High Frequency Eddy Current (HFEC) Inspection and a Detailed Visual
Inspection on Lower Side of Rib 5 on LH pylon.

This Service Bulletin has been classified Mandatory. It is expected that an Airworthiness
Directive (AD) published by the European Av iation Safety Agenc y (EASA) will be issued
to confirm this classification. It is anticipated that the AD will confirm the (thresholds
and/or intervals and/or date) given above but reference should be made to the AD for
confirmation of the mandated accomplishment timescale.
F. APPROVAL
The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of Design
Organisation Approv al 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.
