MANDATORY MANDATORY MANDATORY ATA SYSTEM: 57 TITLE: WINGS - INSPECT LOWER SKIN PANEL INBOARD OF RIB 9 AND AFT OF REAR SPAR **CONF ALL MODIFICATIONS None REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES During routine maintenance, cracks have been found in the wing bottom skin and in the associated internal support structure on A300 aircraft aft of the rear spar and inboard of rib 9. Initially, cracks were found in the skin only, starting from a fastener close to the forward outboard corner of access panel 575FB/675FB. Subsequently, cases have been reported of cracks being found in the skin support strap and the stiffener. Cracks in the skin were first found on aircraft that had completed between 15,556 and 24,650 FC. Cracks in the internal support structure were first found on aircraft that had completed between 22,638 and 24,650 FC. This Service Bulletin is issued to detail a mandatory inspection for cracks in the lower skin and associated internal support structure aft of the rear spar and inboard of rib 9. Early detection of cracks in the lower skin and the associated internal support structure will reduce the possibility of having to carry out expensive and time consuming repairs. Service Bulletin A300-57-6030 (modification 08488H5253) was introduced to strengthen the area concerned. The retrofit solution fitted an external plate with second oversize fasteners in cold expanded holes. The production solution fitted a thicker skin support bracket and door panel surround and installed interference fit fasteners in cold expanded holes. This modification was found to be inadequate since cracks occurred after embodiment of the Service Bulletin. A second Service Bulletin A300-57-6064 (modification 11178H5410) was introduced which further strengthened the area concerned by fitting an internal and external plate for both the retrofit and production solutions. Service Bulletin A300-57-6064 superseded Service Bulletin A300-57-6030. There have been a number of repairs used on in-service aircraft with cracks as follows: DATE: Apr 28/93 SERVICE BULLETIN No.: A300-57-6029 REVISION No.: 08 - Apr 25/13 Page: 1 7 Printed in FRANCE © AIRBUS S.A.S. 2007. All rights reserved. ### Page 6 @A300-600 SERVICE BULLETIN SUMMARY - Repair R57140390 fits a crack stop plug in a cold expanded hole and installs an external reinforcing plate. It was found to be inadequate and was superseded by Repair R57340148. - Repair R57340148 fits a crack stop plug in a cold expanded hole and installs an external reinforcing plate with transition fit fasteners in cold expanded holes. This repair did not strengthen the support structure and when cracks were detected in this area the repair was replaced with Repair R57340199. - Repair R57340199 installs an internal and external plate and replaces some of the support structure. It is currently considered to be the most appropriate repair solution. - Repair R57340223 is a replacement repair for R57140390 and R57340148. It is considered to be of an equivalent standard as Repair R57340199. - Repair R57340218 is a temporary repair which applies a crack stop hole for cracks longer than 30.0mm. This Service Bulletin requires mandatory inspections of the lower skin and associated internal support structure aft of the rear spar and inboard of Rib 9. Early detection of cracks in the bottom skin and the associated internal support structure will reduce the possibility of having to carry out expensive and time-consuming repairs.

REASON (1) History During routine maintenance, cracks have been found in the wing bottom skin and in the associated internal support structure on A300 aircraft aft of the rear spar and inboard of rib 9. Initially, cracks were found in the skin only, starting from a fastener close to the forward outboard corner of access panel 575FB/675FB. Subsequently, cases have been reported of cracks being found in the skin support strap and the stiffener. Cracks in the skin were first found on aircraft that had completed between 15,556 and 24,650 FC. Cracks in the internal support structure were first found on aircraft that had completed between 22,638 and 24,650 FC. DATE: Apr 28/93 SERVICE BULLETIN No.: A300-57-6029 REVISION No.: 08 - Apr 25/13 Page: 4 7 Printed in FRANCE © AIRBUS S.A.S. 2007. All rights reserved. ### Page 13 @A300-600 SERVICE BULLETIN This Service Bulletin is issued to detail a mandatory inspection for cracks in the lower skin and associated internal support structure aft of the rear spar and inboard of rib 9. Early detection of cracks in the lower skin and the associated internal support structure will reduce the possibility of having to carry out expensive and time consuming repairs. Service Bulletin A300-57-6030 (modification 08488H5253) was introduced to strengthen the area concerned. The retrofit solution fitted an external plate with second oversize fasteners in cold expanded holes. The production solution fitted a thicker skin support bracket and door panel surround and installed interference fit fasteners in cold expanded holes. This modification was found to be inadequate since cracks occurred after embodiment of the Service Bulletin. A second Service Bulletin A300-57-6064 (modification 11178H5410) was introduced which further strengthened the area concerned by fitting an internal and external plate for both the retrofit and production solutions. Service Bulletin A300-57-6064 superseded Service Bulletin A300-57-6030. There have been a number of repairs used on in-service aircraft with cracks as follows: - Repair R57140390 fits a crack stop plug in a cold expanded hole and installs an external reinforcing plate. It was found to be inadequate and was superseded by Repair R57340148. - Repair R57340148 fits a crack stop plug in a cold expanded hole and installs an external reinforcing plate with transition fit fasteners in cold expanded holes. This repair did not strengthen the support structure and when cracks were detected in this area the repair was replaced with Repair R57340199. - Repair R57340199 installs an internal and external plate and replaces some of the support structure. It is currently considered to be the most appropriate repair solution. - Repair R57340223 is a replacement repair for R57140390 and R57340148. It is considered to be of an equivalent standard as Repair R57340199. - Repair R57340218 is a temporary repair which applies a crack stop hole for cracks longer than 30.0mm. (2) Objective/Action This Service Bulletin requires mandatory inspections of the lower skin and associated internal support structure aft of the rear spar and inboard of Rib 9. (3) Advantages Early detection of cracks in the bottom skin and the associated internal support structure will reduce the possibility of having to carry out expensive and time-consuming repairs.
